O’s Notes: Canadian pianist, composer Kris Davis features the Lutoslawski Quartet from Poland on The Solastalgia Suite. The title translates to homesickness while still being at home, a longing for a place that has changed in your presence. It easily describes the changes we are experiencing globally with our climate and politics. The music depicts the wide range of emotions that we feel in this environment: anxiety, tension, fear, and temporary exhilaration.
