Kaipainen 2

Perhaps two contemporary symphonies in a day was a little too much, but somehow it felt right for me. I have enjoyed what little I have heard of the music of Jouni Kaipainen since I bought a CD of his Third Symphony and Bassoon Concerto a few years ago. The Third Symphony is very impressive and I was definitely also taken with the Second Symphony. This work is in two movements, the second longer and more tense and dramatic than the first and both progressing from to fast. His First Symphony is in one movement and the Third in three. Apparently the Fourth Symphony was premiered last year. Does it follow the pattern? I cheated with the video: it is the horn concerto
