Release: Tuning Time - Orchestral works
This first portrait album devoted to Annelies Van Parys reveals a distinctive voice in contemporary European music. Drawing on spectralism, she builds luminous orchestral textures that unite timbral exploration with clear musical architecture and strong dramaturgy. Conductor Marit Strindlund notes: "I find Van Parys to be one of the most interesting contemporary European composers… a uniquely individual artistic voice is always shining through her music."
”There is something brilliantly strident about the music of Belgian composer Annelies Van Parys. A spectral composer - her musical structures are grounded in the acoustic properties of sound itself - Van Parys creates music that exudes a terrific power, both intellectually and emotionally. [...] A challenging but enormously rewarding disc.”
