Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Leif Segerstam It has been said that the heroic Third Symphony, written after his student years in 1961, almost sounds like
Bruckner. Rautavaara's own notes in the CD booklet declare that "the four movements breathe in a solemn,
Brucknerian swelling - akin to the rhythm of the land and the sea." “The music is full of voluptuous, organic melody, rich textures and a subtle yet surging development. Segerstam's performance shows sensitivity, a seamless evolution and lush sound.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 **** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Pietari Inkinen Manhattan Trilogy (2003-2005) was described by The New York Times, following its world première at Carnegie Hall, as “a reminiscence of the hopes and anxieties of his student years… The outer movements, Daydreams and Dawn, are cast in consonant but freely modulating chord progressions, with achingly beautiful solo lines darting through the thick textures. Even the central Nightmares movement, though darker and more freely dissonant, often has a lush quality.” | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
