I'm sure that this neatly selected series of works will whet the appetite of those yet to experience Rautavaara's music. This mid-price CD compilation couples the greatest orchestral hits by Einojuhani Rautavaara, who is one of the most-performed and best-selling classical composers alive. Rautavaara is Finland's most successful composer after Jean Sibelius. He is by nature a romantic, even a mystic, and writes music in a very approachable style. |
