The SCO's Friday concert was a bit of a knockout, with a single qualification: there is absolutely nothing objectionable or provocative in Rautavaara's new work for strings, entitled Into The Heart Of Light, which is slightly pastoraly and moodily evocative. But, on the one hand, it doesn't do very much other than meander around pleasantly, if a bit aimlessly. And on the other hand, it actually goes on at great length not doing very much, saying in about 10 minutes what could be said more effectively in five.
