About

In 2003 Kalevi Aho received the unusual commission of composing a complete concert programme. Kysymysten kirja is a meditative, philosophical song cycle using the Finnish translation of the Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's posthumous collection ‘The Book of Questions’. The poems included are made up exclusively of questions, of which Aho has chosen a number, combining them into eleven sets to be performed without a break. The concert leads immediately into the Viola Concerto and ends with Symphony No.14, ‘Rituals’, scored for sixteen string players, wind quintet and two percussionists.

Aho is increasingly recognized as one of today's leading orchestral composers.
