I KNEW you would like this one! Wasn’t that something? Sibelius was a violinist, and his orchestral writing, especially for the strings, was exceptionally beautiful. He understood all the instruments of the orchestra very well and knew how to get the exact colors he was looking for.
Love a bit of Sibelius. Usually called "Nightride & Sunrise" in English, its just one of Sibelius' many masterworks. Another instantly recognisable composer. Further listning: The ubiquitous 2nd and 5th symphonies of course, but also the one-movement 1st. And the great Tone Poems of which the best known is probably the gorgeous Swan of Tuonela; Tapiola also worth your time, Jeff. Sibelius of course, from the cpuntry that produced the great Tuomas Holopainen. In fact in the Wacken 2013 Nightwish concert you will have seen Tuomas' keyboard stand inspired by the Sibelius monument in Helsinki. Handing off the theme or motifs from one instrument to another is a standard technique in classical composition - youll see it all the time
Hey Jeff, that was indeed a wonderful symphonic picture! Knowing the title you can follow the journey in all it´s facets with this composition and the gorgious execution. Btw... I really like your decision to take classic works into your portfolio, what a unique and interesting mix you now have on your channel. 👍
That was soooooo beautiful and wonderful🥹🥹🥹🥹💜 - haven’t been (really) listening to Sibelius for many many years and totally forgot, how beautiful, colourful, wholesome and soulful like this it can be🥹🥹 ….. thank you So much for this suggestion and (may I say) beautiful reaction and analysis from you yet again, Jeff - really heart touching the whole experience🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏🏼💜🌈💖😌. Can I just add that I really liked your analogy as well😉🌈💚🌱☀️🌻🤗. A good thing that we are all a different mix of colours in various doses and ways And are able to blossom - together - in something uniting, beautiful and important in life in many aspects of the kaleidoscope ….. like e.g. in/with music🌈💜🙏🏼💝💚🌱💐🤗.
I would love your reaction and thoughts on this epic concert "FMF 2015: International TV Series Gala: Vikings suite, Trevor Morris, Einar Selvik" it's going to leave you speechless.

So loved it! 😃👏👏👏
Beautiful ! Sibelius is mostly underrated
Sibelius 2nd Symphony is gold status... 10.000 times an oscar.
