Rautavaara - The Journey - Symphony No 8: Part IV
The dramatic, unsettling and grandiose final part from Rautavaara's 8th Symphony "The Journey". Perhaps my favourite piece my Rautavaara at this time.

  • Thank you for posting this. I'm getting into Rautavaara big time now :)

    I read the other comments and would like to suggest Takashi Yoshimatsu (for example his 'Threnody for Toki'), and, though different but in my emotional ear they feel connected somehow, Toshiro Mayuzumi's Bugaku Ballet.

    I don't know if that 'makes sense' from say, a 'classical music point of view' (it may be the equivalent of suggesting a No Doubt song to a Crass fan, I really just don't know :)), but I like them LOL

  • @afurnishedsoul Thanks for the suggestions. I've heard some Yoshimatsu, but not the piece you've suggested. Not sure about No Doubt, but I did see them live when I was younger ;o)

  • @MrBeethovenfan Yep, it's quite unusual. I couldn't recall hearing anything quite like it until I came across this symphony. This is piece is a great ending to an astounding and original symphony.

  • Can one man posses such an expansive soul, that his heart may pour forth these great tumults of emotion? And can his mind be of such sound function that he may control such emotion in a coherent, structured albeit individualistic language?

  • Música grandiosa...

  • Actually that dissonance effect is in this movement too, right about 2:30. I think it's in all the movements. I'm not sure why I thought it was only in movement 1. Anyway, it's an amazing work, one that will be on my playlist for a long time to come.

  • The first movement is pretty interesting too. It has amazing dissonances in the strings -- at least they sound like dissonances, yet they sound sonorous too. It's a very weird effect. Thanks for the video.
