I was honored in high school--42 years ago--to play the Swan's English Horn part in concert. Our orchestral director, who was of Finnish descent, took the time to teach me about Jean Sibelius, about the myths behind the Swan, and to instill in me the passion to present the fullest possible depth of emotion in the performance. It was a life-altering experience for me, and one at which I still look fondly after nearly half a century.

Personaly i think it is too dark, since in our culture, " tuonela " is liberation for better life, not punishment.

@oi565 cool :D

@KievanTiger That's what I was saying....

@TheNatedagreat4 If you have the time you should do some research about Kalevala, a FInnish myth/epic or whatever. This and many others by SIbelius are inspired by them.

@KievanTiger Interesting to see that everyone isn't native English talker.

Tuonelan joki.
Intresting to see people listening to this song without knowing the meaning of it.

By the River of Tuonela...................not everyone is expert in finnish mythology. Most enjoy the beautiful tune - as I also do.
