Kauneimmat Virret

Album FI 1984 on Kasino Records label

A collection of Christian hymns with texts by J. L. Runeberg in Finnish translations (orig. written in Swedish). Some info in Finnish on the history of the hymns (both texts and compositions) on the back cover. Inner sleeve contains song texts as sung on the record. In many pieces, verses are left out, as is the habit also in Lutheran services. The verses sung are chosen on the basis of how they suit the sermon or mass at hand.
