MUSICAL JOURNEY (A) - FINLAND: Helsinki and the Art of Akseli Gallen-Kallela (NTSC)

FINLAND

 

The Places
This tour of Finland concentrates on the capital, Helsinki, and the work of the Finnish artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela.

The Music
Finland found its musical identity largely through the work of Jean Sibelius. He established himself as one of the most considerable of the late Romantic symphonists, and in his tone-poems created a national music that has defied imitation.
