I heard this masterpiece for the first time a few days ago in Helsinki in a new Helsinki Music Centre. This "Concerto for Birds and Orchestra" was conducted by Leif Segerstam and band was Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra. Especially i love the way how Segerstam listened the sound of arctic birds and how he and orchesrta bacame a part of it. Hymn-like melodies made me also deep impression.

cbreemer, are you still there?
I heard the Rautavaara Cantus Articus on BBC R3 a few days ago.
Liked it a lot.
Can you let me have the link to "RSNO on Naxos" please.
TIA

An absolute masterpiece, thanks for posting. Rautavaara is a totally original composer.
This is a good performance though not as sumptuous and compelling as the one by the RSNO on Naxos.
