About

This mid-price CD compilation couples the greatest orchestral hits by Einojuhani Rautavaara, 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.

The featured soloists include clarinetist Richard Stoltzman and pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy.

The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and Leif Segerstam have countless pedigrees in performing Rautavaara’s works, including Grammy-nominated Angel of Light.

Also included is Apotheosis with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Mikko Franck. Finnish film maker Aki Kaurismäki chose this 8-minute recording for the soundtrack of his new comedy-drama film Le Havre (2011).
