To avoid unnecessary downloads: this concerto is better known named 'Distant Light' and is available on cd

yes, the Google translation was flawed
I have this one, and the reviews are quite telling.

It must be better than the Teldec I have...the extremes of volume for that CD had me constantly reaching for the volume control.
and that gave me great heartburn.

Listened to the samples at amazon. Do you know, is this a live recording?

generally speaking, I have found Ondine CDs to be of a very high quality..excepting the earlier symphonies of Rautavaara and the Mellartin cycle, which are now decades old.
