The Art of Finnish Kantele

The Art of the Finnish Kantele with Martti Pokela, Eeva-leena Sariola and Matti Kontio, the foremost players of the Finnish kantele.The instrument can sound like a harp, harpsichord, or a hammered dulcimer. The delicate comtemplative pieces, traditional and newly composed, sound both familiar and alien, played on 5, 9-and 36-string kanteles (traditional plucked string instruments in the dulcimer family), and the jouhikko (bowed lyre).
