Description:

A Striking Performance by One of the UKs Leading Contemporary Music EnsemblesThe latest album from the Riot Ensemble, a renowned UK-based contemporary music ensemble. Through works by four composersEden Lonsdale, Eric Skitterholm Egan, Kaija Saariaho, and Bernhard Ganderthe ensemble explores the interplay between opposing elements such as order and chaos, past and present, and ritual and physicality. In Saariahos *Gates*, sounds reminiscent of Baroque music are transformed into a contemporary sonic space, while in Ganders *O*, raw, rock-inspired energy explodes. Known for their meticulous ensemble skills and rich expressiveness, the Riot Ensemble vividly captures the cutting edge of contemporary music.COVIELLOCLASSICS
