Piano Concerto No. 3 (Rautavaara)
- Piano Concerto No. 3 (Rautavaara)
Einojuhani Rautavaara wrote his Piano Concerto No. 3 (subtitled "Gift of Dreams") in 1998, nine years after his previous concerto.
The work was commissioned by eminent conductor/pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy as a concerto which could be conducted from behind the piano, with Ashkenazy serving as soloist and conductor simultaneously. Ashkenazy did premiere the concerto in this dual role with the Helsinki Philharmonic in 1999. He has since toured around the world performing the concerto, subsequently recording it on Ondine, a Finnish record company.
The work is in three movements, with a poignant central adagio. The work adopts tonal harmonies, as in Rautavaara's Piano Concerto No. 1, but the overall mood is much more calm and serene.
