milie, Kaija Saariaho’s third opera, is a 70-minute monodrama, to a libretto by Amin Maalouf. It was composed for the soprano Karita Mattila and depicts the events on a single night towards the end of the life of the 18th-century scientist Émilie du Châtelet. The atmosphere and pastel shades of the opera are preserved, but it’s the song cycle on this disc, Quatre Instants, settings from 2002 of four poems by Maalouf, that shows off Saariaho’s vocal writing more convincingly, with the voice of Karen Vourc’h wrapping itself around the tendrils of melody. Between the two comes Terra Memoria, an expansion for string orchestra of what began in 2007 as a string quartet, that exploits every colouristic aspect of contemporary string technique while remaining within relatively safe musical bounds.
