Nicolò Umberto Foron conducts Helsinki Philharmonic

"Making their formidable contribution to the Musica nova Helsinki series on Friday, the Helsinki Philharmonic, guest-conducted by Nicolò Umberto Foron, treated the festival audience with a musical treasure-trove, featuring no less than four Finnish premieres and a noteworthy world premiere.

A committed performance, one of admirable reactivity and creative musicality from the soloist and the orchestra alike, Still was marvelously served upon its Finnish first. Well balanced under Foron, the filigree details of Saunders’s solo writing projected thorough the seemingly endless variety of ensemble sonorities with aligned clarity, while the textural blend between those myriad instrumental groupings was ever nothing short of pristine."
