The Naxos label diverges from its usual plain graphic design with this attempt to create the idea of an "alternative classical" genre, an idea that has paid big dividends when applied to rock and country music. Most of the selections are drawn from existing Naxos releases, with a few taken from discs by Denmark's Da Capo and Germany's CPO labels. ...

This is one of those best-of-all-possible worlds releases, with the nearly 80-year-old Swedish choral conductor Eric Ericson (he split the Polar Music Prize with Bruce Springsteen a few years back) leading the gorgeous young French chamber choir Accentus. At times it's almost too perfect -- something like going out on a date with someone too ...

performed by Jaakko Kuusisto (violin), Lahti Symphony Orchestra, Osmo Vänskä (conductor)
composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara

One might expect that Einojuhani Rautavaara's Violin Concerto (1976-1977) and his Symphony No. 8, "The Journey" (1999) would present some striking contrasts of style and technique since the two decades separating them saw major shifts from avant-garde thinking to a reassessment of traditional norms. The Violin Concerto, however, is already fairly ...

Rautavaara: Garden of Spaces; Clarinet Concerto; Cantus Arcticus more music like this

performed by Richard Stoltzman (clarinet), Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra, Leif Segerstam (conductor)
composed by Einojuhani Rautavaara

Einojuhani Rautavaara is arguably Finland's most popular modern composer because of his approachable, neo-Romantic orchestral music; yet his works' consistently somber tone, gray orchestration, and fairly static pacing make them predictable and tedious. Noted for exploiting a variety of methods and for writing in both avant-garde and ...
