SAARIAHO: ADRIANA MATER

Esa-Pekka Salonen/San Francisco Symphony -"Saariaho: Adriana Mater" [2 CD] GRAMMY Award-winner for Best Opera Recording, the late Kaija Saariaho's much-admired second opera, Adriana Mater, was recorded at Davies Symphony Hall in June 2023, just days after it's composer's untimely passing. In it's review, the New York Times wrote, "Saariaho's delicately consoling music stares down the worst of the world and says: the only way forward is grace."
