TAN, Tuan Hao: Hidden Letters (Gjerris, Dalsgarð, Duus, FIGURA Ensemble)
Tan Tuan Hao’s three works on this recording explore sensuality and desire within challenging contexts, subverting expectations and grappling with opposites. 'Vit turka hendur á steini' sets Faroese love poetry to an unlikely ensemble, articulating eroticism through geology-hardened language. 'Pour un maître que j'aime' reimagines Frederick the Great’s youth via transformed Baroque dances, while his setting of Wilfred Owen’s words captures tender moments amidst war. Spanning themes of landscape, history, and conflict, Tan’s music reveals unbridled imagination, uniting disparate elements with brilliance and eccentricity.
