- RLPO play Jean Sibelius masterpiece Finlandia
JEAN SIBELIUS Finlandia
Vasily Petrenko conductor
One of the great late-Romantic composers, who single handedly placed Finland on the musical map. And theres nothing more Finnish than Sibeliuss Finlandia.
Watch the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra tackle this Finnish masterpiece, performed at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall in November 2009. Sibelius originally wrote this for a scenic piece called Finland Awakes, which was presented at the Swedish Theatre in Helsinki in protest against the drastic suppression of political freedom by Finlands Russian masters in the February Manifesto of 1899. The atmosphere of oppression would have been palpable enough for those who heard the piece, if not, the allusion to Emil Genetzs well-known song Herää Suomi! (Arise, Finland!) and the increasingly triumphant mood of the work can have left no doubt in the Finnish mind as to what the message was meant to be.
If youve seen The Hunt for Red October or Die Hard 2 youll know to get the big guns primed when Finlandia pops up; this thing could go nuclear
With the Russian onslaught on Ukraine and the possibility of Finland joining NATO, I was reminded of Finland's unofficial anthem composed by Sibelius when it was under Russian occupation. Many of you may know Finlandia. It starts with a theme indicating oppression and repression followed by a call to arms, then a benediction for those who died in the resistance, followed by the theme of victory. It is for me one of the most stirring call to arms. An ode to freedom.
Det är så jävla vackert att man bara kan gråta!!!! 👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮👍🇫🇮
This is absolutely one of the best renderings of Finlandia I've ever heard. Thank you, Liverpool orchestra, for a magnificent job on this tune that makes even the ex-pat Finns shed a tear in pride.
...can't describe, how i feel...
Tears in my eyes...
I'm from Finland...
Me too...I am from Serbia...I adore Sibelius💘💔💖💙💙💙💙💙and Vasily.
Me too

so fortunate to live in Liverpool where this music is appreciated and more readily available than most think. Vasily Petrenko - One of Liverpool's greatest signings
You're about to lose him to London. A great gain for the capital. It might even keep me here through the depression of Brexit.
Is it easy to watch the orchestra at the philharmonic?
Jean Sibelius has always been one of my FAVORITE composers, I played the tuba part of this piece in a HUGE band make up of many different high schools. I was one of six tubas/Sousaphones. I was the ONLY E flat sousaphone, all the rest were Double B flat. It is a memory I'll NEVER forget.
Beautifully and Triumphantly done. I was in the Kalamazoo Junior symphony orchestra when in high school and we played this piece. This was, easily, for me, one of the best pieces we ever played. Later, in my college years, after I had made a decision to follow the Lord, this piece took on new meaning. The Christian hymn "Be still, my soul", written in German ("Stille meine Wille, dein Jesus hilft siegen") in 1752 by Katharina Amalia Dorothea von Schlegel (1697-1768) and translated into English in 1855 by Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813-1897), is usually sung to the peaceful melody of this piece which is played, initially, by the woodwinds, starting in 5:33. One stanza of this hymn reads as follows:
Be still, my soul, the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He, faithful, will remain.
Be still, my soul, thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
I am comforted, not only by the melody now, but also by the words shown above. The brass, with the rumbling of the timpani in the beginning of this piece, evokes, for me, the crashing of waves, a powerful storm (times of great adversity). The midsection, by the woodwinds and then the strings, evokes periods of comfort and encouragement. And lastly, the ending, which is glorious and triumphant, evokes an incredible joy, where redemption will reach its consummation in the renewal of the physical order, and the effects of sin’s curse will be absent. God Himself will wipe away all our tears. There will be no more death and no reason to mourn, for all that causes sadness will have passed away. And finally, and most wonderful of all, we will dwell in the brightest light imaginable - the light of God’s glory - in this renewed creation.
I can't think of a more majestic piece of music....Warm wishes to my homeland from USA.

Thanks a lot!
Im a finn, and I sure wish this was our national anthem. Besides the vocal part (not sung in this vid, check flashmob finlandia for example.) is way more beautiful than the actual nat. anthem.
8.5 minutes is a bit long for an anthem.

Our national anthem (US) is literally a drinking song we stole from the Brits
Wow! It's feels great to see a younger maestro conducting an orchestra. I kept thinking that most professional orchestras had maestros with white hair and glasses. It's nice to see somebody young doing this.

Short but powerful and rhapsodic, creating feelings of wonderment at the beauty and magnificence of Jean Sibelius's epic masterpiece, Finlandia,
Damned right ,K.S.
I am a proud scouser from Liverpool this performance is absolutely stunning so proud !
This is easily the best version of this timeless masterpiece I've ever heard.
***** Personal taste mostly.
This version puts more emphasis on the percussion, which many conductors tend to neglect, and begins with a more 'ominous' tone that I feel adequately represents the Russian occupation.
The beauty of this music never fails to bring tears to my eyes. I love it.
I bawl like a baby when I listen to this!!!
@@andymilstenmusic8520 , I find it hard to admit but that is what happens to me too and I have a feeling it "hits" my whole body too.
Happy New Year to you.
@@hurri7720 Happy new year back to you….It hits me like a brick especially knowing that I’m graduating high school this year which means these next few months will surely be filled with this haha
Thank you for sharing this beautiful music. 😀🥰😍
Thx all...very meaningfull song for Finns as like me ! Great..Long live Finland!
I wish I could tell everyone of those musicians and the conductor that they did a fantastic job!
I feel like getting a hat from somewhere so I can just take it off for this.
M'lady.
@@edwardelric7715 I busted out laughing when I ready that. I just heard it in a certain way in my head and had a little image of a man bowing with his hat in hand 😂😂😂
Get a fedora, they suit good 👍
What a lovely thing to say!
A tip: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
This gives me goosebumps.
me too, every time I listen...
It is just wonderful. No other words can describe this piece of music. Sibelius was one of the best composers ever. Every man and woman in Finland should be proud of him. My father introduced me to symphonic music and I've been listening to it since I was six or seven....a long way back in time!!!!
The Masterpiece Finlandia, the national heroic song of Finland.

Many thanks for your kind comments.

One the best masterpieces I know. Maybe because I have my roots from Finland and feel that it is majestetic. Great.
Unimpeachable performance！
God,s blessing and glory to the
great Finland‼️
Finland million years old❗
More than wonderful from the first day I came to my ears have not stopped listening to it over and over again without getting tired.
I love this piece and my orchestra is about to play it. Looking forward to it!
My orchestra is playing it today
+Molly Stubbs-Davies Hope you guys did well! : )
Same here!
I've played it, what instrument do you play?
flora östberg I’m playing the clarinet part for it
This piece is in the movie Tuntematon sotilas (The unknown soldier, black/white version) which tells about machine gun company in the Continuation war. It just multiplies the feeling and in the same time brings even more out of this piece. The doom of Finland, the sacrifice to avoid the shackles of tyranny and then the hope for better tomorrow when free men stand up for what is right and just.
This is the most epic thing in the history of epic things.
Such strength and balance to the performance. Might be exactly the correct way to make the music justice, .. according to my music minded ears, who has listed to Sibelius since early 90s.. teenage strength, learned by music.. how to maintain a good strong personality. Beautiful and vibrant with sincerity.
Played this a couple of years ago in all-county, forever one of my favorite pieces
Saw the Liverpool Phil when I was a kid near my home town, playing 'The Planets' and was in awe of them then, as I am now. I've been looking for a 'perfect' performance of Finlandia for a long time, as it has always been one of my favourites, and I think that this is as close to perfect as I will find...
Go Janne! -Janne is the name, by which his mother called him. A masterpiece this is.
This is a great performance of Finlandia, This is very much connected to our wars againnst to Soviet Union. I am old enought to say that my dad was there among other young boys. My dad never told what it was, as everyone of these young lads. These young boys are our heroes, we do not need Rambo or McClain to warship as a hero. based on what these heroes told to me, I nevwer ever like to see war.
Peace from Finland
+Esko Martikainen This was composed 22 years before Soviet Union and 39 years before WW2.
It was not so much connected with wars against the Russian empire but rather against the empire itself and for the rise of the Finnish national idea. In a way a hymn for Finland and its future independence.
Come on! You forgot the expansionist motives of Russia under Catherine the Great? That expansionist policy was exercised by Russia when it imposed political hegemony under the USSR!
Catherine The Great has not been our major headache. Stalin was. This masterpiece is connected to our nations memory through the war 39 - 44. Our starving nation found this during the war time to give hope for the future.
@Esko Martikainen Yes I agree with you. The fact that it was written before the advent of Stalinist era in Russia is of course irrelevant. The Finnish nation suffered appallingly under Stalin and this music would have meant so much to them in those dark days.
Goosebumps from Australia 👏🙏
6:17 the transition from woodwinds to strings is so beautiful
Vasily Petrenko is indeed a music maestro..luv the dude and his arrangements. Plus big ups to the RLPO!!!!!!!!!!
this makes me feel patriotic
which is stupid because i'm not even Finnish, nor do I have any Scandinavian ancestors, nor have I ever set foot outside my home country, the US
It's the same feel for everyone. Because the thing that makes us human and connects us is the same thing that separates us. That's the beauty of multitude and contradiction of humanity.
One can only imagine how it felt to the finns that worked against oppression of Russian empire. And how it later on felt to those who risked everything and fought against Soviet Union to keep Finland independent.
same here but I'm a swede and my brother lives in Finland
And you live in Denmark or Norway cause your moniker has those ö:s? ;-)
Its very good at what it tries to envoke. Patriotism. To break free from oppression. And that its going to take effort to gain freedom.
i swear i found this trough google find music while putting it to listen to what an orchestra was playing in my school
my school is based on music to be clear either way this is epic
I have always loved this piece and this performance has made me love it even more!
Great! I'm playing this now in my orchestra. Sounds fun! Can't wait!
played this piece in high school at all-state. after learning of the history of this piece and the nationalistic pride that it stirs in Finns, I couldn't perform this piece without tears running down my face. Still stirs strong emotions in me after 30 years. I'm not Finnish, but American and an ex-Marine.
God given talent, a true masterwork
From Heaven itself.
This is true music 🎵.. Jean ❤
This is an absolute magnificent performance! Got chills throughout! Such an awesome piece of music possibly my favorite orchestra piece altogether! Astounding!
Very, very good. It's as harmonic as it could get.

5:38 was the tune of my elementary school song! I still remember the words 50+ years later whenever I hear the tune.
Fantastic !!! I love FINLANDIA !!!
Thank you
Wow, this brought tears to me. Thanks!
WOW!!!! This is the best redition of this piece I have heard yet! Thanks for posting it
I love this song I played it in 7th grade for symphony!!
Very fine performance !
Thanks
I love this piece
Superb!! This piece never fails to stir my soul!
My the most favorite version....So sublime!!!!!!!
@mcculs2 Thank you for your kind words.
It's Finland's independance day today, the time of the year when I listen to this song with my cheeks wet.
It's such a beautiful piece and it represents the history of my home land so well it's impossible to describe in words.
that woodwind chorale at 5:50 is magical
I thoroughly enjoyed listening and watching you perform this piece! Sounds exactly like I remember in high school. It is hard to find this performed well on youtube. Thank you!!
The hymn at the end of the score, now a sort of 2nd national anthem in Finland, is a copy of a catalan hymn to the Virgin of Montserrat. The catalan hymn, called the Virolai, was composed in 1881; the piece by Sibelius in 1899. As simple as that. A shear copy my dear Sibelius.
Good on you Brits for this fab performance of out national treasure. Many Thanks!
I just "found" and listened to this clip of "Finlandia"... It's totally awesome. THANK YOU for posting it!
Sublime...wonderful!
Bravo to Vasili Petrenco for expressing all the patriotic feelings of everybody, from every country !!
Magnificent performance!!!
Georgeous music complimented with the words of Be Still My Soul.
Thank you Liverpool philharmonic orchestra. Absolute perfection. Got me in tears on our 100th independence day.

그리고열심히듣는다
Played with the dignity this masterpiece deserves! Well done. I really enjoyed the whole of it!
We played this for full orchestra and everyone hated it but it was my favorite piece
Wow, I'm moving to Finland in a month and this is probably one of the most beautiful things I've witnessed from there 😭 I have to agree with others though, this is so beautiful compared to their current national anthem. That one is okay, it's just somewhat rigid I guess but most national anthems are. I know it's terrible but the Soviet anthem is actually my favorite of all that I've heard 😂😂😂
No.. Soviets sucks and their music sucks.
@@mezekut12 Some of the best composers in history have been Russian

@@user-jd6gq2vh5w what language is that?
Soviet anthem, but Soviet does not exist anymore.
This is heavy-duty, impactful, awe-inspiring music. It explores a range of human emotions from sadness and grief to happiness and joy and everything in between. Had a spiritual impact on me. Congratulations to Finland on its 100th anniversary.
I LOVE this piece!!!!!
Just absolutely beautiful!!

We are a tiny Country here on Polar Circkle and We are Proud to have build our Country from ruins after 1940-1950-1960. Finland is always one of the BEST in every research
Excellent performance of our patriotic hymn! Thank you!
Finlandia is a truly amazing piece. I love this and the Karelia suite from Sibelius.
I gre up hearing this and I can't help but hum along as it is played. What a hell of a national anthem to have. Well done Finland!

This is good version, because of passion it have. In my opinion Sibelius ment this piece forcefully passionate.
I'm currently playing this at my school and it's sooooo good. I love it.
He estado solo dos días en Finlandia y mi mas preciado recuerdo es una foto en que estoy al lado del monumento al maestro Sibelius, con cuya música me familiaricé hace 65 años
The opening is sooo powerfull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Liverpool Phil is a wonderful orchestra.
Beautiful rendition !
