Leif Segerstam

Background: Einojuhani Rautavaara, the 'patriarch of contemporary Finnish composers', is internationally one of the best known and most frequently performed Finnish composers. Commissioned by the famous Juilliard School for its centenary celebrations in 2005, his Manhattan Trilogy is a reminiscence of his student years in America. The three movements are powerful musical recollections on moods from this time. Following its world première at Carnegie Hall, the New York Times marvelled at the work's 'achingly beautiful solo lines darting through the thick textures'.

It has been said that the heroic Third Symphony, written after his student years in 1961, almost sounds like Bruckner. Rautavaara's own notes in the CD booklet declare that 'the four movements breathe in a solemn, Brucknerian swelling - akin to the rhythm of the land and the sea.'
