¡Rautavaara: Works for Cello and Piano
¡Tanja Tetzlaff (cello), Gunilla Sussmann (piano)
Description
[Machine Translation] Rautavaara, one of Finland's foremost contemporary composers, sadly passed away in 2016. His late symphonies with a mystical atmosphere and "Cantus Artix" with birdcalls are much loved by many people, but the "Works for Cello" on this album were not performed very often and have lain dormant for some time. The Sonata for Solo Cello, composed in 1969, and the Two Preludes and Fugues from 1955 are the foundations of Rautavaara's chamber music composition technique, and have a fresh, neoclassical style. The Sonata No. 1, which followed, was written in a modern style, but it was not completed immediately, but only after 30 years of hesitation. Songs of My Heart" is based on an aria from his own opera "Alexis Kivy. Tanya Tetzlaff and Gunilla Shusman sing a variety of other works in an intimate setting.
