Oh, it's flawless!

This is bar far the best Rautavaara's piano concerto. The second is confusing for its programmatic form and the third is simply boring.

search "Vladimir Kush"

Rautavaara's Piano Concertos are great. I can't help but feel that he was influenced a lot by Bartok's Pianco Concertos in some instances. Check them out if you've yet to hear them.

@VirtualGamer42 You can find it on NAXOS, called "Sonic Rebellion", alternative classical collection.
NAXOS 8.570760. In a flash it may remind you to Chopin's Revolutionary etude, but then it is ALL Rautavaara!!

We can add this to that list of piano concerti which open with the solo instrument. By the time the orchestra enters, it seems like They are the soloist - a very neat turnaround of expectations. The epic gestures and heroic scale coupled with the at odds modern vocabulary and minimal orchestral gestures keep this near-parody of late high romanticism free of the sugary goo it could have been. Clever, that Finn.



F*cking genius!!! Better than Rachmaninov :P

@rulleverulle You're right, as much as i love Rachmaninoff, you just can't beat Rautavaara.
