Finlandia - Jean Sibelius | Classic FM

Ben Palmer conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra & Chorus in Sibelius' patriotic 'Finlandia' for Classic FM Live with Viking at the Royal Albert Hall. Written during a time of strict imperial censorship, the ominous opening of this protest piece develops into an uplifting hymn, which went on to provide the melody for 'Be Still My Soul'. © Sky Arts | Classic FM, 2024 #classicalmusic #orchestra #sibelius ____________ Classic FM is the UK’s favourite classical music station, playing the most relaxing music.
