Furrer: Works for Choir & Ensemble / Helsinki Chamber Choir, Uusinta Ensemble

Beat Furrer is no stranger to the attention he receives for his subtle exploration of the possibilities of the human voice. Furrer's six Enigmas, a cycle of a cappella settings of Leonardo da Vinci, demonstrates a striking emotional range, from rich, almost romantic tonal warmth to dramatic avant-garde expressionism. All eight works on this new release accentuate Furrer's fondness for exploring sonority, timbre and texture.
