00:03 Movement I - Adagio assai 11:32 Movement II - Feroce 14:37 Movement III - Tranquilo 20:37 Movement IV - Con grandezza

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

In the very beginning, it's like you're on a gondola above the clouds. It's a masterpiece!

Es una música extraordinaria! Muy bien escrita y conducida. Escuchen la Sinfonía n.3!

Ich bin begeistert von seiner Musik. Habe ihn erst jetzt entdeckt. Der junge finnische Maestro Klaus Mäkelä hat eins seiner Stücke dirigiert.

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.

hell yeah i love that pic of ol' eino

LMFAOOO "ol' eino"

Ugh it's so beautiful

So happy to see this!

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

I think this is my all time favorite symphony. I come back to this video and obsess over it every now and then.

so good...

I love this as much as 7 and 6 actually

The best movements are, in this order: the 3rd and the 4th.

I love the seventh more but this is as much amazing!

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)
