- Summary:
- Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tuur's Seventh Symphony, dedicated to the Dalai Lama, is a choral symphony like no other. It is a powerful vector-based work in Tuur's new compositional mode in which the orchestra only intermittently frames and supports the voices. The texts that the NDR Choir sings include words of the Buddha from the Dhammapada, but also utterances of more contemporary visionaries, from Gandhi to Mother Theresa. The Piano Concerto was composed for the Hessischer Rundfunk.
