Description
Tampere-based composer and saxophonist Petri Nieminen is a long-standing musician whose career spans theatre music, film scores and concert works. Nieminen’s musical language draws boldly from different styles – from punk and jazz to Gregorian chant – and his works are known for their strong emotional charge and structural precision.
The album features a wide range of top Finnish musicians: Kalle Oittinen, Heta Aho, Taavi Oramo, Elias Lassfolk, Beata Antikainen, Niilo Myllynen, Matleena Koivusaari, Ville Hautakangas, Jarmo Hyväkkö, Reinis Birznieks, Päivi Pöyhönen, Teija Parviainen, Jyri Kurri, Jarkko Uimonen, and Harri Lehtinen—musicians who represent the diverse skills and passion of Finnish art music.
Nieminen’s new collection of works brings together the key elements of his career as a composer: cinematic expression, rhythmic energy, and chamber music sensitivity. The result is an impressive and lively album that appeals to both lovers of contemporary music and admirers of classical expression.
