Einojuhani Rautavaara: Cantus Arcticus, Piano Concerto No. 1, Symphony No.3 - Laura Mikkola, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Hannu LintuThanks to the Naxos series, Finnish composer Rautavaara (b. 1928) may finally receive the recognition he deserves. Cantus Arcticus combines bird sounds with a symphony orchestra, perhaps with more romanticism and less modernism than we would find with say Messiaen, but still very original and touching. Also the Piano Concerto No. 1 is exhilarating and illustrative of Rautavaara's personal style.
