Finlandia 0630-17282-2
1996
French compilation disc with tracks selected from Finlandia’s Estonian
and Baltic Music Series recordings from the 1993-1995 period. This disc
is very similar to the compilation issued elsewhere entitled “Estonian
Experience”. The Tüür tracks are the same on both, although they are
placed differently in the tracking order.
Compilation selection is unaccredited, although the selection is substantially the same as the Estonian Experience CD.
