  • Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis was released from Junta prison in 1970 and sent to exile. He visited Helsinki in November and Finnish musicians gave him a tribute concert at Vanha. Here Mikis meets Arja Saijonmaa for the first time and is impressed.

    It's actually great to see Mikis eyes and how he is caught by her singning. Absolutely fantastic that this moment has been recorded on camera! What a historic document!

    Mikis has called this woman "a true priestess of his songs" and a "Goddess". That's very impressive! I think that Arja is indeed a very beautiful woman and an emotional singer. Well done Finland!

      Mikis und Arja wären ein schönes Paar gewesen. Sie mochte ihn, er mochte sie , aber die Umwelt hätte es nicht akzeptiert. Nun ist es zu spät.

    First time i saw that video, it brought tears into my eyes. How great it is , to listen the words of our poet, Yannis Ritsos, performed in a foreign language. Words about people's struggle for Freedom embraced by others.

      When she sings: at 2.02: "These hearts don't give in to anything but to justice" (Nämä sydämet eivät taivu kuin oikeuden edessä...)
      - doesn't that bring tears to your eyes?
      BTW I'm pretty sure I was there, or at a quite similar concert that year!
      Thanks to Theodorakis many Greek poets became familiar to us in Finland.
      Many artists in Sweden were also immensely engaged for Theodorakis and against the Junta.

    I watch this document every now and then. I always get thrilled. I guess this is one of those magical moments when a composer meets a singer of his music.

    I was born in the 80s, but this video makes me wish I was older. I love this song. There's such great power in her voice it makes me feel a little bit afraid - in a good way.

      @@njuham when these people said freedom in the 1940s to 1970s, what they meant was freedom from foreign big powers. Not taxation. Taxation was not seen as a big problem (not just by them, but from right wingers as well at that time), because they had to deal with way bigger problems than a big state. Of course you can't have freedom in socialism. Mikis Theodorakis knew this already in the 1980s, which is why he abandoned social democracy and became a liberal.
