Synopsis

Album Description
Once Sibelius's prot?g?, Rautavaara is considered to be one of the greatest living Finnish composers. His choral works have made him a household name. Recorded here is a fascinating selection of works, including the Suite de Lorca (one of the most popular Finnish works of all time) and all demonstrating the unique style forged by the composer on his travels through the musical fashions of the twentieth century. Rautavaara's rich and sonorous neo-Romantic textures have a steely modernist edge and the resulting voice if one that is deeply attractive and approachable, yet endlessly captivating.
