NPR Radio, in their “Performance Today” program of December 1, 2006, Finnish conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen joined program host, Fred Child, to talk about the origins of the symphonic poem "Finlandia" by Jean Sibelius, and what it means to Finns today. Then, Salonen conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic in a concert performance at Disney Hall in Los Angeles.
