Einojuhani Rautavaara: Concerto for Birds and Orchestra “Cantus Arcticus”, Op. 61

it sounds like Take Five

Celestial music! Thank you for sharing.

His interpretation is significantly slower than usual. It is extremely poetic. The musical language in itself is quite simple: it turns around melodic modal fragmants, but cretaes strange and oniric feelings

Why is this wonderful Composer not more well known.?

very very beautiful work, congrats for the composer (R.I.P) and the orchestra

Super beau !! on ressent la Finlande :)

Where is the image from?

This is true Nature !

Just discovered this wonderful composer. I keep making pleasant discoveries of his creative genius

Remember this one. This is still so good

This sounds like a bbc planet earth documentary. All it needs is Sir David Attenborough

my teachers the music

RAVING ABOUT RAUTAVAARA!

Pure magic!

Belle idée d'associer les oiseaux,( maîtres chanteurs ?) à une composition musicale

Rautavaara is a true genius, this piece is fantastic but also his vocal pieces, he is a master of his craft...

I love listening to this concerto while our local birds are having their morning chat. A beautiful concept, beautiful music.

I really don't know why he did not pursue this environmentally sensitive approach to creative music composition. It's the work he is most remembered for, along with Angels of Light.

Brush strokes of Sibelius and Nielson have been daubed onto Rautavaara's Autumn Gardens, depicting the endless.

beyond wonderful

I wonder, are the birds sounds sampled by Raut himself, or is it some kind bird live performance?

why is this so good???????????? it's amazing

yawn

Who are the 10 stupid people that put the thumb down on this marvelous composition???... Deafs?...

끼룩끼룩~

This is divine indeed!

BIRDS AND HAWKESTRA ! !!
HEAVENLY DOVES.!
IT CROWS ON MY MIND

MUSICAL WINGS 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

The closest thing to an "Ode to biodiversity". Period.

This somehow makes me connect to Messiaen.. And could it be possible to use piccolo or something else instead of tape?..

😶😶👌

I love this music. Always puts me in mind of the estuary at Fremington Quay on a cold and still Sunday afternoon in autumn. The blackberries gone, the leaves beginning to fall, the call of the curlew, the thought of school the next day (30 years ago), the barren mud flats...I used to sit on my bike looking out upon the scene and wallow in a sense of melancholy. I was a strange and often solitary child...

Amazing!

I first heard this piece three years ago in a live concert I attended in the UK, and was blown away by it. Some months later I then recognised some of the same bird sounds whilst standing on the top deck of a cruise ship quietly moored at the head of a Norwegian fjord and was taken straight back mentally to the performance I heard.

merci

Holst would have loved this ...

I'm sat in the peat shed of my grans house in Ireland seventy years ago, I am four years old. Silence can produce strangeness. I hear this and am transported back there.

Just got the 12 Concertos box on the Ondine label. I'm looking forward to all of them.

Idée géniale d'associer des cris d'oiseaux à cette musique orchestrale ......

The chosen art for this piece is perfect

Ich komme gerade aus dem Sinfonie Konzert des LOH Orchesters im Achteckhaus Sondershausen, wo dieses Stück gespielt wurde. Ich bin immer noch "von den Socken" ob dieses phantastischen Zusammenspiels zwischen Naturklängen feat. Klassik. Es passt einfach perfekt, verzaubert und lässt mich gedanklich abtauchen und wegdriften. ☺️🕊️🦩🦜🦤

:)(: 🐦🎇❄🌫🌌🧊🍦🍧

What magical music!

After some research this is what fits the most my taste for reading Moby Dick.

What is this artwork?

This doesn't have 100 million views. It can't be good. Fu%k that Sh%t. This is it folks! Let your brain live.

P.S. tweet

Played it for a poor PetSmart parrot
