Because It's Colder There...

It's 12 degrees in Helsinki as I write this post. So it's a Finnish music kind of day. Today's listening included the following:

Esa-Pekka Salonen: LA Variations, Five Images After Sappho, Giro, Mania, Gambit

Einojuhani Rautavaara: Symphony no. 7, Annunciations, Cantus Arcticus (Concerto for Birds and Orchestra), Piano Concerto no. 1, Symphony no. 3

Aulis Sallinen: Shadows (Prelude for Orchestra), Cello Concerto, Symphony no. 4

All are dramatic and colourful works. Get thee to a record store (most likely online)!

That is all.
