PLEASE NOTE - The original video was nonexistant for the first minute of the three movement work. It has to be resynchronized to the audio from a CD recording in 2002. Please forgive a few minutes where there is only a black screen. This problem could not be avoided

The music is available through faber Music, but I know Northwestern's l;ibrary has it, so you might interlibrary-loan it.

Beautiful setup: The two piano flanking the contrabass look like angelic wings. I love Rautavaara and I love this work. I saw his 7th symphony live. But they don't play him in the UC too much. Thanks for posting this video -- it's MAGNIFICENT. =)
