A composition at its best has everything. The entire life in a single moment. This is how composer Sauli Zinovjev (1988) sees it. Zinovjev composes music that conveys vast emotions. The kind of music which also made him a composer. Until the age of sixteen, he played the guitar in a rock band and skateboarded. Then he saw a clip online with György Cziffra performing Liszt. “It was as if wallpaper had been torn off the wall revealing a window to an open landscape. The euphoria and the virtuoso performance left a fanatic impression on me. To have the ability to inject so much art into a single moment. The entire spectrum of life.” Zinovjev uses classical music to make his view of the world intelligible. To convey it – life – to others.
