I love his contrast of Tonality and Atonality in attempting to describe a both harrowing and miraculous experience. At times you can get an image of the ineffable, but it is quickly obscured by the sheer magnitude of such an encounter.
In many points, the music tries to resolve, but the excitement and tension is so high, that the orchester snaps into flurishes of many voices all wildly glorifying the undescribeable.
this music touches something inside of me ,that no other music can reach. It is also highly addictive:-)! This symphony and his 3rd piano concerto has this effect on me
Indeed. Rautavaara's oeuvre is roughly divided into four stylistic periods. He started as a neoclassicist, then moved on to dodecaphony, and in the late 1960s, to neo-romanticism. From the 1980s onwards, he developed a kind of synthesis style from serialism and neo-romanticism. For example, in his Seventh Symphony, Rautavaara used the 12-tone technique but created sounds that were basically romantic in nature.
About twenty years ago I heard for the first time "ANGEL OF LIGHT" (a birthday gift). The magic of the music is still overwhelming. It is a masterpiece and one of the most beautiful symphonies of the 20th century. Thank you for this impeccable upload.
Some touches of Walton, Elgar, and Ralph Von Williams in the 3rd and Finale movement. The cadences section at around 29-30:00 are very indicative of English compositional open 4th stylistic elements.
Thanks! My absolute favourite Rautavaara symphony...I'd like to see the other symphonies, and icons and Passionale with this kind of pictorial visualisation.
It is of Lucifer. It has nothing to do with the TRUE GOD MAN, Jesus Christ. The artist, Jean Delville, was a Theosophist. In other words, he was a Luciferian. Helena Blavatasky founded the Theosophical Society and she knew whom she served---Satan. The sad part is the influence the New Age Movement had on culture in the late, 1960's and early 1970's. In both progressive rock (Yes, Genesis, Rick Wakeman) and classical music (Rautavaara, Kaija Saariaho, and so on). I am convinced that music from this time was reflective of the spirit of the times---the New Age, the Aquarian Age, Luciferianism, Angelology, etc..One must go back to Bach to be refreshed with music from GOD. I am a Finn, and I am also struck by the fact that Sibelius was a Mason. And Finland has strong roots in Freemasonry---Worship of Lucifer (the Angel of Light), who is also Satan. We must wake up to REALITY. GOD as JESUS CHRIST.

This post not only introduced me to this great piece but also the weird and wonderful world of painter, Jean Delville. Double your money, as they say.

Rautavaara's music is a new discovery for me. I am totally bowled over, stunned and anazed by this masterpiece.
Check out his piano concertos No 2 and 3. Sublime!
Gorgeous ! Great composers all came back tonality at some point !

magnificient
as a lover of many styles of music From Messiaen to Part this is such a lovely work in it s romantic glow
Its marvelous & stunning masterpiece..thank you Mr Rautavaara

Semplicemente straordinaria. Musica dal raffinato e profondo sentimento evocativo di spazi, natura e luce. Quasi un omaggio a Sibelius.
One of the most remarkable compositions I've ever heard. Many thanks for making it available.

The last movement was amazing!
Thanks! My absolute favourite Rautavaara symphony...I'd like to see the other symphonies, and icons and Passionale with this kind of pictorial visualisation.
Or maybe even the Rautavaara etudes, I think, they are often written with a sense of musical thinking, as opposed to technical exercises.
My favorite is the eight symphony, followed closely by this one. I think the picture on the 8th is brilliantly fitting to the masterpiece! :)
Dear Mr Rajesh
It was an Indian who first made me aware of this wonderful music!!
9:36 half of a lick
Haha I noticed that too! And, as it happens, I accidentally played the lick while practicing today too! Can't escape!!
what painting is this ?

I feel like the final movement was performed at too slow of a tempo, made it feel melodramatic, didn't have momentum.
Compared with the score or vs. another recording?
I should add that the movement is marked pesante, which means "heavy and ponderous."
@@tedwilks I liked the Lahti SO recording of the IV movement better.
That's the idea, for goodness sake!!
