CANTUS ARCTICUS
Commissioned ballet for Finnish National Opera
For two soloist and ensemble
REVIEW
”The best combination of music and dance was provided by Virpi Pahkinen in Cantus arcticus based on the music by Einojuhani Rautavaara´s evergreen song of praise to northern nature with its birdsong already provided plenty of themes…and there was no lack of beauty and the feelings aroused by nature in the movements and images.”
