Symphony No. 1
Symphony No. 2

Hyvinkää Orchestra
Tuomas Pirilä, conductor

Like many contemporary composers, Harri Vuori (born in Lahti, Finland, in 1957) approached the symphony with some hesitation. But having taken the plunge, Vuori has expertly married his modernist’s palette of colours with an awareness of symphonic architecture to create two very different works, the First (2003) in the traditional four-movement form and the Second (2007) in a grand arch of five linked movements – Vuori’s virtuoso handling of the orchestra producing music that shimmers with light and heaves with energy.
