The 18th symphony of Kalevi Aho, premiered this week, is described as a protest against brutality, against militarism, and against racism. Its specific influence is the war in Ukraine.

The premiere launches a 75th birthday year for Finland’s most successful living symphonist.

    I hope we can have a recording available soon. Aho have a great sense of orchestration.

  • Doug says:

    Fitting to see that the Finns are back on the side of the Nazis again. This time, the Globalist Nazis. Heil Globohomo!

    • Jean says:

      I am a Finn and my grandfather’s cousin served in the US Army and was shot in Germany.

      If I were you ”Doug” (or Vladimir?), I would think again before making more comments.

      Must be quite bad that Finland joined the NATO, isn’t it? 😉

    Putin responds by programming The Unfinnish Symphony.
