Like Shostakovich's 15th, this Rautavaara's final symphony is also a farewell work, designed by a composer with quite happy and successful artistic life. The symphony has formal similarities with Rautavaara's 7th, yet it is a bit more clear-cut dissonant and really ends in the best way possible, with amazing fanfare happy end. It is an enjoyable symphony of an old master.
Absolutely incredible. I’ve been a casual fan of Rautavaara for some time but never took the time to dig too deeply into his music until recently. I’m glad I have
Thanks so much for this! Rautavaara is one of my favorite composers, and his beautiful 8th was my introduction to his work. Sadly I discovered him just a year after his death.
Thanks for adding the score. Appreciated. Many of us can follow a score, as distinct from 'reading' a score (as this conductor does with new music INSTANTLY). But it adds to the enjoyment.
Supernatural. I hear it, at least, one time each week. I can´t read the score, but can feel it. Its something like a voyage to a place where you find people with higher thoughts: maybe you won´t understand these people, but will know how far can go human thoughts. Rautavaara: a life that was worth it.
My favorite ending Rautavaara ever composed. That D6add9 chord is such a perfect resolution, especially with the one F# in the 1st Trombone. Wonderful Picardy 3rd
He has definitely been a fan of Bruckner, his 3rd symphony especially has been said to be Bruckner -influenced (which was also very untrendy at the time)

Can't stop listening to the that climax in the 4th movement, it is quite literally something else!

In the very beginning, it's like you're on a gondola above the clouds. It's a masterpiece!
Ich bin begeistert von seiner Musik. Habe ihn erst jetzt entdeckt. Der junge finnische Maestro Klaus Mäkelä hat eins seiner Stücke dirigiert.
Es una música extraordinaria! Muy bien escrita y conducida. Escuchen la Sinfonía n.3!

hell yeah
i love that pic of ol' eino
Along with his 7th and his first piano concerto, this in my opinion is Rautavaara's greatest masterpiece.
Unvaluable upload!
You should listen to his operas, and also his vigilia. His choral music is really underrated
@@GUILLOM id like to see your ranking of his operas haha
Well, I still haven't heard all of them, so I can't rank them lmao
@@GUILLOM very fair, i’m the same way aha
I think this is my all time favorite symphony. I come back to this video and obsess over it every now and then.
So happy to see this!
Ugh it's so beautiful
so good...

I love this as much as 7 and 6 actually
I love the seventh more but this is as much amazing!
All of them bad
(Bait)
@@GUILLOM how dare u!
Third concerto good
Passionale good
The best movements are, in this order: the 3rd and the 4th.
Go 🐀avara!

Why did you heart my comment but reply with 😡?

Am i wrong or am i getting kinda bruckner vibes? In some interesting way?

@@tessi4099 Having a hard time getting into Bruckner. My local symphony is playing Bruckner's 4th next month. Debating whether to go or not.
8nth
17rd
Sounds like Star Wars soundtrack
I had the same thought honestly. the string & brass writing around 4 Min
