The Holiday Classic " Gift of the Magi" Comes to DVD
New York, NY, August 10, 2009 --(PR.com)-- A Holiday Classic by Finnish Composer, Einojuhani Rautavaara
The Gift of the Magi
A Full-length Performance of his Acclaimed Opera Available on DVD September 29th from Kultur.
Kultur is proud to announce the release of Einojuhani Rautavaara’s The Gift of the Magi. This acclaimed opera will be available on DVD September 29, 2009 for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
Since its debut in 1997, this opera by the eminent Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara based on the O. Henry short story quickly became a holiday classic. This powerful performance, written and produced especially for television, stars Pia Freund as Minna and Jaakko Kortekangas as Joel. The Christmas message of love and sacrifice finds a truly imaginative expression in Rautavaara’s opera.
Rautavaara is a prolific composer with a career spanning seven decades. To date, he has created ten operas, of which Thomas, Vincent and Aleksis Kivi are the best known. He has also produced eight symphonies and many concertos including the popular Cantus Arcticus; Rautavaara has also written much choral, chamber and vocal music and a small amount of electronic music. Through working directly from his emotions and not hewing to party line serialism, Einojuhani Rautavaara has emerged, in the autumn of his life, as one the major figures in contemporary music worldwide.
The Gift of the Magi will be available on DVD on September 29, 2009 for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
