Our Take

Ante Lucem, the latest collaboration between the Iro Haarla Quintet and the Norrlands Operans Symfoniorkester, is a stunning fusion of classical orchestration and jazz improvisation. Haarla, a veteran pianist and composer, leads the charge with her intricate arrangements and stunning piano playing, while the symphony orchestra adds depth and complexity to the mix.

From the opening track "Aurinko" to the closing notes of "Moon Over Lake," this album takes listeners on a musical journey that is both captivating and exhilarating. The interplay between the traditional jazz quintet and the symphony orchestra is nothing short of mesmerising, with each instrument adding its own unique voice to the conversation.

Haarla's compositions are at once beautiful and challenging, weaving in elements of Finnish folk music and avant-garde jazz to create a sound that is truly one-of-a-kind. The musicianship on display here is top-notch, with each member of the quintet and orchestra delivering a performance that is both technically impressive and emotionally resonant.

Overall, Ante Lucem is a triumph of creativity and collaboration, a testament to the power of music to transcend genre and bring people together. Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or a classical music buff, this album is sure to delight and inspire. So sit back, relax, and let the music wash over you – you won't be disappointed.
