In a tone poem by Väinö Raitio, the godfather of Finnish modernism, cosmic wheels turn in infinite stardust. Violinist Otto Antikainen ascends into the atmosphere in Kaija Saariaho’s spellbinding concerto Graal théâtre. In his Fifth Symphony, Jean Sibelius surrendered to a celestial guidance: “As if God had thrown down pieces of a mosaic from heaven and asked me to work out the pattern.”
