Composer Bryce Dessner has written classical music, film scores and songs for his band The National. His latest album for Ensemble Resonanz offers four works for strings which include a commission by Steve Reich, and we’ll take a listen this week. We’ll also explore a new album of works by Kaija Saariaho performed by the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and violinist Peter Herresthal, which include world premier recordings conducted by Clement Mao-Takacs.
