Rautavaara The Fiddlers

Bach Violin Concerto No. 2 in E major

Gruber Nebelsteinmusik
Schubert
arr. Mahler Death and the Maiden
This Finnish
prodigy’s infectious enthusiasm permeates his performance, whether playing
new music or the old classics. His eclectic selection includes Rautavaara’s
miniature portraits of folkloric fiddlers and Gruber’s darkly humorous
tribute to his former teacher. Schubert’s momentous quartet, arranged
by Mahler, is an ideal showcase for the chamber music credentials of Britten
Sinfonia’s string players.
‘This
young Finn has the natural relaxation and fun of a folk musician… he was
sublimely beautiful and unshowy, playing for the music, not for himself.’
