Erkki-Sven Tüür's "Aeris" is a captivating journey through the realms of contemporary classical music, set to release on June 20, 2025, under the prestigious ECM New Series label. This album is a testament to Tüür's evolving compositional style, blending orchestral grandeur with intimate chamber music elements.
The album features three distinct works: "Phantasma," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases Tüür's ability to create evocative atmospheres; "Symphony No. 10 'Aeris'," a sprawling orchestral work that highlights his mastery of large-scale composition; and "De profundis," a profound and introspective piece that delves into the depths of human emotion.
Performances are led by the esteemed Estonian conductor Olari Elts, with the Budapest Festival Orchestra bringing Tüür's intricate scores to life. The album's duration of 1 hour and 1 minute offers a substantial exploration of Tüür's musical landscape, making it a significant addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection.
