Jean Sibelius: Finlandia - Played by Kalevi Kiviniemi

[@Tomperius]

Täydellistä musisointia uruilla. Suomi voi olla ylpeä tällaisesta kansainvälisen tason huippu-urkurista. Kiitos.

[@karinalidakihle3535]

oh bless u it is so wonderful an great yo listen to!

[@stwbill]

Wonderful performence, including video scenes. Oh sing my soul! How could this be better!? Thank you.

[@LeendertCordemans]

Thank you for your answer and information. Great.

[@vakuutusmies]

Kalevi se osaa ja jaksaa... kiitos! Sibelius olisi varmaan ihastunut mahtipontiseen luomukseensa Kalevin tulkitsemana.

[@thebasisti2482]

Eikö Sibelius itse sovittanut teoksen uruillekin?

[@thebasisti2482]

Ei tainnut sittenkään vaan H. A. Fricker, mutta en epäile etteikö olisi ihastunut.

[@ReaganReese]

Absolutely perfect registration.

I've never heard Finlandia on the organ before. As in Georgian Bay, Canada, so in Suomi. (even the diving tern!) Thank-you - it seemed quite brilliant to me.

[@Jatezzzi]

Perfect ..!!

Oh that my own country Canada show produce a Sibelius. Truly inspiring music that touches the soul. Nationalism is the lifeblood of any nation only after several generations have passed will future offspring appreciate where they live! I see Canadian painters such as the Group of Seven's paintings as being only one place on earth Canada . I am sure Finns feel the the same way about their music artists and national hero's. Our lands the cold ,short summers have made us what we are.

Great organist here.

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

A very impressive performance. Some details about the organist and this very orchestral instrument would be interesting. (What an *awful* case front! Fortunately, the sound of this organ is of a much higher order. Perhaps the case was designed by an architect?) Thanks for the upload.

There is an informative leaflet on the organ published by the Lapua cathedral parish. www.lapuantuomiokirkkoseurakunta.fi/liitteet/00010053/0/lapua-00010053-1.pdf (English + Finnish)

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Thanks!

[@samposyreeni]

Now *this* sounds nice even to a full fledged Finnish libertarian's ear.

[@LeendertCordemans]

Nice record. Where is it record?

[@Itapirkanmaa2]

Leendert Cordemans in the Lapua Cathedral, Lapua, Finland, which is also featuring on the video (from the outside at 4:21 ).

[@mattikojola5139]

Onkohan tua tulkinta tehty Lapuan Tuomiokirkossa, jossa ne valtakunnan pääurut ovat olleet iätä ja päivät???!!!

[@koskisenolli]

Lapuan kirkko todellakin kuvissa vilataa. Kosolankadun varrella.

[@HansKariniemi]

Good, but I wasn't able to quite discern some of the notes in the faster portions of the piece. I wish more pianists would play Finlandia slower! (gert is my favorite)
