Helena Tulve’s extinction des choses vues is composed after the text Extase blanche by Michel de Certeau and was first performed in 2007 by Estonian National Symphony Orchestra and Olari Elts.
Eino Tamberg’s neoclassical-tinged Concerto Grosso was one of the seminal works in the „new wave” that marked the return of modernism to post-Stalinist Estonian music. The premiere performance of the work took place in Moscow in 1957 (USSR State Symphony Orchestra, conductor Nikolai Anossov) and was also performed at the Prague Spring Festival in 1959.
