Bone-chilling and heart-warming at the same time. That's the strings paving their way for the brilliant 'Aino' theme, played on the 1st trombone and named after the composer's wife
I totally agree! Especially his interpretation of this part is absolutely convincing. The more I listen to the Fifth and Seventh, the more I´m convinced, that Sibelius was a genius.
I was at one of the concerts in 2010. It was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. Not perfect, but very moving. In the final analysis, the BPO's sound is just a little too splendid for this music. A feeling of humility is needed which this orchestra does not easily communicate.
@TheJoyfulPianist I've been stuck on 2 and 5 for some time (and Gould's version of Opus 67) but now I'm locked into the 7 with several replays and I can't get enough (almost like Bruckner's 7th in terms of being locked in). There's more than enough pith there for any Brucknerian, and yet, there's a wholesale authenticity to the 7th's nobility of expression that fulfills so well. I see why you've opted to grace your wall with Jean's intense visage.
This is solid, but karajans version is magic, is beyond words, listening to this is amusement, listening to the berlin philharmonic with karajan is a revelation.
This is just so amazing! I cannot explain in words in any language.... When are you going to play Sibelius again? I've just moved to Berlin and want to hear this!
Excellent and MILES better than Rattle's very, very poor studio version with the CBSO. He needs to record it again now he's got a feel for it. This version of the hymn section from the 7th is still just a tad slow for my tastes but at least he now gets the sheer lyric rhapsodic beauty of this part of the piece spot on (very unlike the CBSO version where he turns it into a lifeless dirge).
No, listen to the NYPO version with Berstein. The best I've heard. Impeccably structured and played with an enormous passion. But still, it is very transparent throughout. :)
If we lose everything else on this planet Earth, let this symphony be the last sound we all hear.
Agree

Love the trombone passage near the end of this excerpt.

my favorite moment in music. I have never been brought higher. There's a reason why I have Sibelius' photo on my wall.
congratulation Rattle! Sibelius deserves to be played and to be heard more
Bravissimo, Sir Simon ! Sibelius would be proud !
Oooh Man Oooh Man. Speechless
Als Berliner bin ich Stolz auf dieses Weltklasse Orchester ein guter Botschafter unserer Stadt.
Das Orchester ist ein musikalischer Botschafter meiner Stadt Berlin
Bravissimo Sir Simon Ratle. Interpretation Wonderful, Wonderful picture. A Concert of the first world! Hugs from Brazil.
