Erkki-Sven Tüür, born in 1959 on the Estonian island of Hiiumaa, has established himself as one of the most remarkable composers of his generation. Although younger than Arvo Pärt and Veljo Törmis, he is now considered one of the leading voices in Baltic composition, particularly since his first ECM album, "Crystallisatio." Dennis Russell Davies's sensitive interpretation of his works with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra underscores his artistic significance, while David Geringas impresses with his exceptional abilities as a cellist.
