Is that St. Pete Fla.? We could be neighbors. Who knows? I don't know what these other guys who replied must be thinking. Tchaikovsky?! He composed "pretty" but not much else. I think he suffers from being too popular and too sweet. Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff, they had intellect and soul! But I also love Sibelius though I discovered him relatively late in my life.
Sibelius was inspired of Tchaikovsky, and .. listen, you can hear this inspiration in many of Sibelius` compositions. They both are great Romantics; Sibelius was a composer and violinist of the late Romantic and early-modern periods. His music is often credited with having helped Finland to develop a national identity during its struggle for independence from Russia.
Here, here! From California. I still can remember the announcement of his death in 1957, when I was 14. My maternal grandfather had introduced me to classical music. And, Finlandia was the first of Sibelius' music he played for me. I feel really lucky today about that.
A maior alegria e a mais finíssima melodia, não há outra em comparação. Sim, tantas são as músicas, mas há uma peculiaridade em cada composição. De fato, Sibelius é um compositor de um bom espírito. Deus te abençoe, irmão de luz e guie a nós de volta a tranquilidade e paz no Senhor Altíssimo. Fé e até breve irmão, algum dia quem sabe não ouso pessoalmente sua composição, em algum momento se a graça me for concedida, até lá, muito obrigado pelas belíssimas composições que tranquilizam meu espírito e o meu cérebro se deleita em toda a seu magestíssimo trabalho. Obrigado!
Oui, c'est génial! Sibelius a composé des oeuvres encore plus inspirées par la nature finlandaise, comme : ua-cam.com/video/lfQwswRE398/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/dACRUFfmMeo/v-deo.html
@@Xerdoz I think this probably has a lot to do with it--geography. People tend to group composers together by period but also by nationality, and there are many more French/Italian/Russian/German composers than Finnish ones, so I think it's very easy for newbies to classical music overlook Sibelius. Which is disappointing, because he was brilliant.
Great to have the magnificent 2nd symphony here, but I'm not sure this is an ideal cross-section of Sibelius' best. Of course it's hard to do such a master justice in just over an hour, when symphonies and some of his longer works really need to be heard in full. And it's also a matter of taste. I would say the violin concerto, which I love, is essential, and I also really like the Karelia suite. Others have their own favourites, so you can't please us all, but thanks a lot for the upload :)
You took the words out of my mouth. If I were drawing up a list of Sibelius' best, I would include at least the Second Symphony, the Fifth Symphony, the Violin Concerto, Finlandia, the Swan of Tuonela, and the Valse Triste. I'm also a big fan of Tapiola, but nobody I know agrees with me on that one.
One great legacy we can get out of the1800s 1850s-1890s when it comes to the world's greatest music's They knew what they were doing when they created movements to classical music!! These people had the instruments and they took advantage of how to use them!!
According to the information I found via a Google search, Sibelius is supposed to be the longest living classical musician. So my theory is, if you want to have long life, it can't hurt to listen to Sibelius. 🤷♂
Why is there no information about the orchestras, the musicians, the recording date or the conductors? PLEASE RESPECT the work and dedication of hundreds of musicians who study for years and rehearse for hours every day...
Coming from a small country like Finland you don't have the same help as those from more known and powerful countries. And I must admit I have forgotten how good this sounds.

Finlandia. That song should be our national song. Estonia have a same nationalsong with us now, and will keep it. No hard feelings, by F. Pacius. I love Estonia. Let´s be friends.
Thank you in every case for this music. I am looking for a good compilation of all his non-symphonic works, which are nevertheless with orchestra - on CD, if such might exist! Do you have an idea? Sibelius was a great composer!
Interesting rendition of the 2nd symphony; I liked its freshness. But the tuba in the last movement is too restrained; I always want it to boom out over the full orchestra like a foghorn: "Boo-wump! Boo-wump!"
Please! Someone time code the list of selections revealed at "show more" because I'd actually like to learn something but I am reliant on somebody's kind expertise. Please help! I may be decrepit but I'm not too old to learn.
abhinav madduri Having seen it performed recently I share your dismay. Should be in any 'best of' overview of Sibelius' work. But I'm sure it's elsewhere on youtube. :)
Criminal! But I think that when Sibelius was born, Finland was part of Sweden. Still, he was definitely NOT ethnically Swedish. I have a feeling he would not appreciate being labeled as such!
@@gutsfinky Finland was part of Russia when Sibelius was born (1865). Finland was part of Sweden from ca 1150 to 1809 (when Russia took over until our independence in 1917)
Nyt täytyy, kylläkin todeta, taide/musiikki menee kaikkien rajojen, sekä politiikan ylitse, taide on rajatonta ei mielestäni voi rajata... kenen taide on luvatonta ja kenen ei.
Hardly his best or greatest music. Also in this selection: I've never heard At the Castle Gate played almost as a waltz. It loses some of its grandeur. I remember as a child shivering as it was the intro music to the BBC's (longest running tv programme) Sky at Night in awe of its ruggedness and the ascending ending.
With more thought and better presentation, it would have been much better. Most of the best of Sibelius is missing from this collection. An opportunity missed i feel. Sorry to be negative.

100 Years, I Love My Country! We've had everything from Sibelius, to Runeberg, to Lordi. This Country is, and will always be, my home!
Also the magic of Madetoja, Melartin, Rautavaara, Saarijaho, Kajanus--there is a wealth of great music from Finland.

Estoy descubriendo una música genial. Me encanta Sibelius, relajante música para trabajar, estudiar, conducir.... sencillamente G E N I A L.
Sibelius no es relajante, es un torbellino que emociona hasta las lágrimas!!!
A good looking composer. Superb music 🙂
Merci pour toute cette MAGIE
Para una hora de música de Sibelius, es hermosa.....siempre lo será.....
Classical music is underrated
Sobre todo poniendo publicidad a cada momento. No le hacen ningún favor!!
Those who know know 🌷
Very underrated! 😢
Cultural education is undervalued.
But symphonic music has never been a mass culture.
I agree with you
Sibelius completa hoje 150 anos! Um século e meio de seu legado musical incrível na face da Terra! Viva Sibelius!!!!!!!!
Its nice when through music you can listen to history!!

En Sibelius escuchas cómo se expresa la naturaleza, cómo vibran el agua, los bosques, los inviernos, etc.
Comme qui dirait, UT MUSICA UT PICTURA....
Sa musique est tellement ancrée dans son terroir, pas besoin d'images.. super Sibelius!
Heerlijk om in een zoele-avond naar muziek te luisteren , natuurlijk
met een wijntje er bij , en dat via je iPadje , heel mooi !
Fue un genio y lo sigue

Ne pas oublier le Cygne de Tuonela, Finlandia, Karelia, la valse triste, la symphonie 5 et aussi le concerto pour violon...!!!

I love this!
Simply the best
Sibbe was a fine man, a true patriot. Today we got nothing like him.
No ads? Well this is a merry Christmas!
"The Best" without Finlandia? Someone didn't do their homework.
I was expecting Pohjola's Daughter too.
True dog
Well, the Finlandia Suite certainly belongs here, and even more so the KARELIA suite ...
We've all heard FINLANDIA. It's the lesser-known pieces that we need an introduction to.
@@quentinduplooy9868 -- Exactly! It's like including "1812 Overture" in an offering of 'Unheard Tschaikowsky"
Huippua. Sibelius oli nero.

Muito bom!!!
This would have been about 100% better if I was not interrupted every 10-15 minutes by obnoxious ads that ruined the entire video.
That's it! Classic music is the most awesome than never
Identifying the different works is a great idea....only made better if they had been time-stamped.
Genial
Finlandia! Both the piece and also just because FINLANDIA!

IT'S ALSO FREE... I hope I won't be late
I wonder if it was the Sibelius VC...the orchestra played on 1 violin
Interesting rendition of the 2nd symphony; I liked its freshness. But the tuba in the last movement is too restrained; I always want it to boom out over the full orchestra like a foghorn: "Boo-wump! Boo-wump!"
