At the 67th GRAMMY Awards® ceremony Kaija Saariaho’s Adriana Mater won Best Opera Recording. The late Kaija Saariaho’s much-admired second opera, Adriana Mater, was recorded at Davies Symphony Hall in June 2023, just days after its composer’s untimely passing. In its review, the New York Times wrote, “Saariaho’s delicately consoling music stares down the worst of the world and says: the only way forward is grace.” Directed by Peter Sellars, the world premiere recording features the San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco Symphony Chorus, with soloists Fleur Barron, Axelle Fanyo, Nicholas Phan and Christopher Purves. It is conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen.
