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.

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.
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.

***** 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.
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.
@@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 😂😂😂
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!!!!
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.
Please... just listen to and enjoy the music and don't bring politics into it particularly since you have fallen for the propaganda about Russia etcetera etcetera
@@margaretharypkema9290just read the original comment and my reply again. truth or lie, propaganda or not, your claim "don't bring politics" doesn't stand at all.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
This is an absolute magnificent performance! Got chills throughout! Such an awesome piece of music possibly my favorite orchestra piece altogether! Astounding!
Great! I'm playing this now in my orchestra. Sounds fun! Can't wait!

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.
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 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.
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
@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.
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 😂😂😂
