This review is from: Finnish Hymns (Audio CD)

It's a nice Cd, but beware--it's twentieth century style orchestral settings of Christian hymns--no one signs on it in Finnish. Nice background music, but it wouldn't have to be called "Finnish hymns," since most of them are actually German or English.
