The human voice is the most beautiful of all instruments, but also the most difficult to play, claimed Richard Strauss, born 150 years ago. True, the seductive dance in his opera Salome, and the Rosenkavalier suite wrapped in nostalgia for a world since vanished, do not require a human voice. Jukka Tiensuu’s virtuosic Voice Verser is, by contrast, an unbelievable obstacle course for its singer.
