With this release, (Rautavaara) is bidding fair to become Finland's leading symphonist. (...) The Sixth Symphony is another brilliant example of Rautavaaraäs striving for a perfect synthesis of musical elements. (...) The neo romantic Cello Concerto (...) is a memorable work, superbly played by Marko Ylönen. (...) Excellent performances and sounds. Highly recommended. This CD couples Einojuhani Rautavaara's Symphony No. 6 "Vincentiana" with one of his most performed concertos, the Cello Concerto No. 1, which features soloist Marko Ylönen. |
