Einojuhani Rautavaara - Piano Sonata No.2 "The Fire Sermon"

[gregwer]

Hey guys! I'd love to share with you this recording my girlfriend made. I hope you like it as much as I do!

In this work, Rautavaara puts together utter craziness, brutality, defiance and a hint of mockery. As the composer describes it, this sonata portrays a "repeated and frustrating struggle", with a tension always building up which ultimately collapses.

I love Rautavaara; this is a great piece, and she plays it beautifully. She brings out the beautiful lyricism in the lyrical bits just as well as the crazy in the crazy bits.
