Description
This new recording features the complete works for violin and piano by iconic Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautaavara (b. 1928), including world premieres. The performers are two of the most fascinating talents from Finland who are know for a fresh approach: violinist Pekka Kuusisto (may be the best thing to happen to classical music in years" - The Guardian) and pianist Paavali Jumppanen ("immense power and an extraordinary range of colours" - The New York Times), who, for Deutsche Grammophon, made acclaimed recordings of Pierre Boulez's Complete Piano Sonatas. This CD also includes Rautavaara's opus 1, the piano suite Pelimannit (The Fiddlers), which is based on traditional polska tunes for the fiddle. Following Pekka Kuusisto's concept, this recording presents the original violin tunes, alternating with the respective movements from Rautavaara's piano suite."
