The Places
Scenes of Finland and its capital Helsinki, the interlinked islands of Suomenlinna, site of an ancient castle and fortifications, and the hills, valleys and fjords of Norway follow a journey through varied Nordic landscapes.
The Music
Finland found its musical identity largely through the work of Jean Sibelius, whose Violin Concerto is the principal work included in the video. Other works are by the Norwegian composers Johan Svendsen, Johan Halvorsen and Christian Sinding.
