  • Orchestral Works He Had Played in His 35-Year Tenure in the Orchestra
    KALEVI AHO ORCHESTRAL WORKS KALEVI AHO – a composer of contrasts and surprises alevi Aho (born in Finland in 1949) possesses one of today’s most exciting creative voices. A composer with one foot in the past and one in the pres- K ent, he combines influences from the most disparate sources and transforms them through his creative and emotional filter into something quite unique. He does not believe in complexity simply for the sake of it. His music always communicates directly with the listener, being simultaneously ‘easy’ yet ‘difficult’, but never banal, over-intellectual, introvert or aloof. In his own words, “A composer should write all sorts of works, so that something will always evoke an echo in people in different life situations. Music should come to the help of people in distress or give them an ex- perience of beauty.” Kalevi Aho is equally natural and unaffected in his symphonies and operas as he is in his intimate musical miniatures. Monumental landscapes painted in broad brush- strokes go hand in hand with delicate watercolours, serious artistic confessions and humour. The spectrum of human emotions is always wide, and he never lets his lis- teners off lightly. He poses questions and sows the seeds of thoughts and impulses that continue to germinate long after the last note has died away. “His slightly unassuming yet always kind appearance is vaguely reminiscent of Shosta- kovich, while his musical voice, with its pluralistic conception of the world and its intricate balance between the deliberately banal and the subtle, is undoubtedly closer to late Mahler.” It is easy to agree with this anonymous opinion of Kalevi Aho.
