"Varied and evocative, full of fascinating sonorities, Ardor is motoric and eruptive in the outer spans, contemplative but still volatile at the centre. Pedro Carneiro, the dedicatee, plays with commendable authority and virtuosity. The composer describes this concerto as a transitional work away from his older style - represented by the haunting cello-and-piano Dedication - to ones based "on different premises"... These "different premises are heard best in the title-track Oxymoron. ... The works on this fourth ECM release devoted to Tüür's music are executed with commitment and skill... They present a spectrum of the composer at his most recent."
(Gramophone)
"Oxymoron" - contradictory terms in conjunction - seems to be a perfectly appropriate title for a CD presenting four pieces written between 1990 and 2005 by Estonian composer Erkki-Sven Tüür for different vocal and instrumental line-ups: Tüür's writing is characterized by juxtapositions of seemingly heterogeneous musical idioms always moulded with a rare sense of architecture and musical dramaturgy. "Oxymoron" is the fourth ECM-release dedicated exclusively to works by Erkki-Sven Tüür.
