Hi,
Perhaps a bit off topic but I heard a segment of this piece on the radio the other day and was transfixed. Anyone know anything about it? It is called Cantus Arcticus:A Concerto for Birds and Orchestra and I think it was written by a Finn named Rautavaara (sp?). It had an unexpected and unique blend of bird calls along with some classic orchestral music. Worth a listen.
