Finnland - A Musical Journey auf DVD

"The Places"
Scenes of Finnland, its capital Helsinki and its countryside, are intercut with the work of the painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who, like his contemporary Jean Sibelius, captured the spirit of his country and its legend in his work.

"The Music"
Jean Sibelius is the greatest of all Finnish composers and it is his music that accompanies scenes from his native Finnland, its landscape and legends. He drew inspiration from the ancient stories of his country included in the great collections of legends that make up the "Kalevala", and from the Finnish landscape.
