About

"All is alive in Liza Lim's music, permeated by unstressed agency. It's hard to think of anything less Kafkaesque than her Annunciation Triptych, in which she shatters the Romantic trope to pieces, rebuilds it in other ways, and uses the orchestra as a historical and cultural prism wherein the women - Sappho, Mary, and Fatimah - are portrayed as sources of transhistorical light in every movement. Each 'prism-orchestra' is, moreover, an assemblage itself, filtering its figure's radiance in unpredictable, sometimes revisionary ways." (Seth Brodsky)

With this album, Lim presents an impressive spectrum of compositional diversity, masterfully interpreted by Emily Hindrichs and the WDR Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Cristian Macelaru.

If Liza Lim isn’t on your musical radar, I suggest you remedy that. I can’t think of many other composers today who, on a grand scale, combine her mastery of colour and form with sensitive engagement to where we’re at ecologically.
