Kaija Saariaho (1952–2023) was a Finnish composer known for combining acoustic instruments with electronics and for significant works in contemporary classical music, including the opera L'Amour De Loin.

Born 1952; died 2023. Renowned for blending traditional instruments and voice with electronics and for explorations of timbre and spatialization.

The available review praises Saariaho's blending of traditional instruments with electronics, highlighting pieces such as Lonh, Près, NoaNoa and Six Japanese Gardens. The writing emphasizes timbral detail, spatialization and poetic sound worlds. Recommended as a good introduction to her work.

For:Listeners of contemporary classical and electroacoustic music; students and performers interested in timbre and electronics.

 As soon as the CD is placed in the player, the rarefied sounds of "Lonh" transport the listener into a magical and enchanting dimension.
