About

Following the acclaimed 2006 song cycle Quatre Instants, the latest collaboration from star soprano Karita Mattila and her compatriot Kaija Saariaho is Mirage, the setting of a trance-induced incantation by the Mexican healer María Sabína (1894-1985).

This recording features the work's world première performance from March 13th, 2008 in Paris. The ecstatic 15-minute piece is written for soprano, cello and orchestra, featuring cellist Anssi Karttunen and the Orchestre de Paris under its music director Christoph Eschenbach.

Anssi Karttunen performs Notes on Light, the cello concerto that Saariaho wrote for him in 2006.

Also featured on this CD is Orion, the largest orchestral work Saariaho has written to date.
