Reviews

I had not encountered anything by the Finnish composer Jukka
Tiensuu until I heard these two CDs.
I now have a much clearer aural image of the music. If he is a
romantic he is a virtuoso one happy to grasp any technique that
serves his expressive needs. These include dissonance, electronic
means, mosaic in frenzied motion, fantasy cut free from the usual
chain and leash.

His imagination and technical skills are highly impressive, taking him to sound vistas that can confound or delight the ear.
