I really don't understand how this piece isn't played more. It is THE most epic piece I've ever heard. Like watching an armored Leviathan rising from the water after being summoned
Unbelievable! What must the first audience to hear this tumultuous, erupting sound emanating from the orchestra and Sibelius's brilliant mind, have thought? It is as if the whole orchestra turns into an unstoppable, blazing fire. I am so grateful to have heard this superb rendition
Sibelius' is second to none in the quality of his orchestration, and that's how he created works as intense as this one.
Found this whole suite just yesterday under a video of his Lemminkäinen Suite. This 5 min part tore my heart out. I could see a battle fought between good and evil. you parry, they strike your friend, you hit, a friend stands up and fights on, an arrow hits another friends chest, she hds your hand, you get up and slay another foe. Oh the images before my mind.
fantastic oh my goodness
He grows old and grumpy in a bare abode,
Around the hearth stand empty seats,
And if awaiting what years will bring,
He awaits but death and the funeral bier,
He listens, he listens with forlorn grief to the sighing of the trees.
The old BIS recording with Vanska is the most powerful one. It bites. Earth shaking finale. This piece is an epic drama, leaves me speechless every time.
시벨리우스의 숨은 보석, 북구의 신비와 전설, 몽환적인 에로티즘,
바그너적인 화성, 한편의 연극을 보는 듯한 서사적/서정적인 전개~
왕년의 오먼디, 카라얀 같으면 어땠을까?
Superb!
너무 좋아요 (very good)♡
Awesome!
Perfection!
Someone liked the end of the
whole story of "Metsänhaltija".
Not a very good recording, but THIS IS "SISU", the Finnish strength and endurance.
Ce finale évidemment n'exprime pas la lente et longue progression (25 minutes environ)dans le chemin de croix du pauvre jeune homme, victime de la Nymphe et de ses sorts, qui souffrira le martyre de l'envoûtement jusqu'à la folie, pour le restant de ses jours.
Il part confiant dans ce qu'il croit être une simple promenade sylvestre, ne se doutant pas de ce qui l'attend
(ah...les femmes ! 😉)
Je possède le texte de Rydberg (poète apprécié par Sibelius) traduit dans une édition CD pour la France (à l'occasion de l'année sibelius en 2007) comprenant :
- la version musicale uniquement,
plus donc également "sur l'autre face"
- la version récitée du texte d'A.V. Rydberg, avec en fond musical cette œuvre symphonique extraordinaire de 1895 de Sibelius
qui se plaque merveilleusement bien sur la narration, l'ensemble je l'avoue traduisant une atmosphère et un effet absolument tragiques
Sounds like a mix of Spanish, German and Russian music, I guess Finland is there somewhere in the middle of those, great!
if this is worked by a german or russian is god. He was from finland, a pity.
How wonderfull

don't exaggerate he hasn't the tenth of tchaikovsky's or mussorgsky's genius !
it's just a scandinavian beethoven , a part from Grieg , there is no great scandinavian classical composer (just as britain ) compared to the other countries with plethora of geniuses : Russia , italy france germany or the other slavonic state , even americans have gershwin !
It,s another roll, also We like these genous, listen the forest nymph, cheers
very impressive but sibelius music is too sad , tchaikovsky's emotive but this one is depressive , you must have the courage to listen for hours to sibelius !
that's it !

Si vous dites à un Finlandais que c'est un scandinave, il vous met une claque.
Pays exclusivement scandinaves : Danemark, Suède, Norvège, c'est tout !
En revanche, la Finlande + les 3 pays ci-dessus, + l' Islande, + Pays baltes (3) + Russie, entreront eux plutôt dans la catégorie générique des pays nordiques (9)
Pour ce qui est du Beethoven "scandinave" nommé Sibelius, ayez 1 % de son génie, et vous serez très très intelligent ; quand aux œuvres tristes, gaies, sombre, funèbres, cela ne traduit pas la beauté des constructions, lignes mélodiques, architectures etc d'une œuvre musicale, mais simplement une description de sentiments. Il y a des opérettes complètement quelconques et des Requiem grandioses
What a drama! I reckon this wood nymph is something like a Rusalka in the russian mythology...
