Kaija Saariaho: Im Traume, for cello, piano and electronics (1980/1988)

A live recording of the only performance (in 1988) of Im Traume in the version with electronics. The composer did not feel happy about the piece after a few years and made this version with electronics in the hope that she would feel more comfortable about it. In her last years she still did not wish the piece to be performed but felt that if someone absolutely wanted to perform Im Traume, it must be played in the original form without electronics. Anssi Karttunen, cello Tuija Hakkila, piano
