Tomter reflects: "The composers are of different generations, but all vibrantly alive. Over the past decades, I have commissioned and premiered numerous concert works for viola and orchestra - a challenge many composers have approached with both curiosity and some hesitation. The fundamental character of the viola may be more inward than declamatory; it carries more of a Mona Lisa smile than theatrical gestures. This has made it a less frequently used solo instrument historically, yet perhaps all the more attractive to today's composers - its possibilities do not feel exhausted."
The album brings together four works that, in different ways, connect what we know with what we can only sense: city and wilderness, grief and silence, the body and the beyond.
"It is a powerful experience to witness the unveiling of a work of art in real time," says Lars Anders Tomter. "I hope listeners will find joy in this music, and that violists will take up these works and make them their own."
