All of the works presented here cover Einojuhani Rautavaara's final period, which you could call neo-romantic if you were keen to give it a label. It is true that the magnificent cycle Rubáiyát from 2015 (written when the composer had only one year left to live) marks a definitive return to classic tonality, melody and harmony, in a style that could just as well date from the late 19th century. The composer took a few characteristically Russian and Finnish passages from his last finished opera, Rasputin (2003), creating a fantastic and clear mix between two nations that are so close and so frequently at odds. Still in the same era, the magnificent work Canto V from 2012 is the final part of a kind of cycle which began half a century earlier: its first two pieces were still marked by dodecaphonism, which Rautavaara would soon ditch; the next instalments were filled with tonality, neoclassicism and neo-romanticism. The final Canto is subtitled "Into the Heart of Light", which underlines the composer's desire for the greatest clarity. The Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra is conducted by John Storgårds for these 2015 recordings; Rubáiyát is sung by bass-baritone Gerald Finley. © SM/Qobuz
