Helena Tulve’s Wand’ring Bark

Helena Tulve‘s 12-minute Wand’ring Bark for orchestra will receive several performances during this spring season. Among the first was the Orchestre de Paris concert on 18. February . According to Resmusica.com “this deeply poetic work drifts by like a dream and is wonderfully brought to life by Paavo Järvi. Though placed in the delicate role of an opening piece, it nonetheless became the real highlight of the evening.”
Diapason wrote: “The piece consists of slow shifts of sound material, with gradually evolving nuances, almost imperceptible tempo variations and subtle percussive punctuations. The orchestra, under Järvi’s expert leadership, brings out the shimmering, resonant, meticulously divided sonorities of the piece..”
