It is hard to characterise Tüür’s output as a whole, because his language and style are changing continuously. His musical language is full of meaning, and fascinates with its multiple contrasts and rich world of sound. His approach to music is governed by deep intellectuality.

A lot of Tüür’s works are performed by the best known musical interpreters of Estonia. The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir with the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, under Tõnu Kaljuste, recorded his Architectonics VI, Passion, Illusion, Crystallisatio and Requiem. This CD, titled Crystallisatio (ECM), was praised in the Grammophone's and the Music Magazine's reviews. Tüür’s Third Symphony was premiered by the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in 1997. The series Architectonics I–VII was recorded by the NYYD Ensemble (Finlandia Records, 1996).

Tüür's music is being heard more and more frequently not only throughout Europe but also in North America, Australia, and Japan. His oeuvre comprises orchestral, concert and chamber music, oratorios, film scores, and popular music. His works have been performed at such festivals as Bang on a Can (New York), Border Crossings (Toronto), Musica (Strasbourg), Emerging Light (London), the Vale of Glamorgan Festival (Wales), Musica Nova Helsinki, the Lockenhaus Chamber Music Festival, Wien Modern, and the festivals in Berlin, Huddersfield, Salzburg, Stockholm, and Gstaad.

Tüür has collaborated with world-famous interpreters like violoncellist David Geringas (Concerto for violoncello was premiered in Lausanne in 1997), The Hilliard Ensemble (Exitatio ad contemplandum, 1996), percussionist Peter Saldo (Motus I, premiered in Munich in 1998), Cabasa Quartet (Motus II for quartet of percussions). The Lighthouse for orchestra was commissioned by Ausbach Bach festival in 1997)
