That fourth movement is really beautiful. This channel is amazing, I don't know where you get all these recordings from! I've learnt about so many good composers ever since I found this channel. Thank you very much!
Yeah, I agree with Carlos. But if you stick to conducting instead of that composing stuff, you might make a name for yourself eventually. Although Lenny B. did OK doing both, so give it a try...🙂
Another piece demonstrating (like a lot of the works on this channel) that not all great music was written by composers belonging to the established "canon" of Classical music.
Obra tremenda y apasionada. Se puede percibir la evolución de su autor con respecto a las 2 primeras sinfonías. Obra digna de ser presentada en conciertos y grabaciones como muchas de sus otras piezas.
This piece is very nice, I've enjoyed listening. Yes the artwork is apt, but I prefer to watch the players during the performance..It's more like being there.
I am not an analytical left brain oriented person. I can not analyze the oughts, should, ought nots, or should nots of any classical piece of music. I am right brained oriented, experiential, intuitive, subjective in my musical experience. I like intensity, emotionalisim, power, in my choice of music. This piece stirs that as good as anything I have ever heard. I can revisit this work. It is stirring.
Doug Bower Well,may I suggest you get into the right side of your brain a bit of what I believe may well be the greatest-if not one of the greatest,if not pretty damn good anyway-tracks ever created-"Exercise",by the great Rumanian jazz/classical pianist Eugen Cicero.It's 3-and-a-half minutes of sheer brilliance the likes of which the world has not witnessed since Bach was a boy!My number 1 piece of all time.
Because Finland was a country of one genius at a time. only in the recent years interest/respect has shifted to composers others than Sibelius (of the historical composers)
Brucknerian 4th spirit and Sibelians progressions. I'd forgotten the 3ed of Roussel in terms of dynamic and spirit flashback. The final is a deep introspection to the first Sibelian symphony adagio , emotional rising and just at the very "finale"Bruckner rise taking the hand of Erkki like a Hero . Great endeed! Bravo ! Danke
Once again I agree with Mr Woodall a wonderful piece of music. Melaretin should be played more often in the symphony halls. Would be great background music for film.
Here I am again giving a mixed reaction. Some very stirring moments and amazing orchestration mixed with with too-campy themes and cheesiness. But I should be clear that it is a wonderful gift to be able to explore this and others on this channel so I tip my hat again to Kuhlau.
Complessivamente una sinfonia "nazionalista" ,con parecchi riferimenti a Sibelius,soprattutto nei primi tre movimenti.Il quarto movimento è per me quello più interessante e musicalmente più riuscito.
At exactly 15'30” I said to myself ”I stop listening this" and then I find myself an idiot to think that if I do not listen to it until the end, I will be taxed as a sectarian person, but when I have finished writing, I will still stop this void interstellar because I am afraid to lose my neuroses!
There really are a lot of great works written in the early half of the 20th century that seem to lie forgotten.

You´re also pretty talented yourself, Gustav. Keep up with the good work, man... (An 11th symphony would be amazing... -just saying-...)

These Melartin recordings were released individually and then as a box set on the Ondine label.

What a gem. I enjoyed every moment of this symphony
I discovered this composer through his wonderful violin concerto and have loved discovering his other music!
Amazing work. That first movement sounds cinematic!
Beautiful symphony. Great composer. Wonderful performance. Thanks for posting.

i'll certainly be looking at his other symphonies
Une symphonie exceptionnelle en couleurs et mélodies
A new composer for me. This is a delightful symphony. The artwork is always so perfect. Thank you for enriching our lives.
Wait til you hear his fourth symphony! You'll love it.
This piece is very nice, I've enjoyed listening. Yes the artwork is apt, but I prefer to watch the players during the performance..It's more like being there.
treasure..fantastic,,thank you so muck!

Please tell us more about that astonishing artwork! It looks like something from the mind of Moebius.
I like it the more I listen to it.
Absolutely Brilliant
Excellent work.If you like Sibelius, listen to the first movement.Why is Melartin (along with Kalinnikov) so neglected?.
I could not agree more! What a trove of unsung gems here

Bravo ! Danke
Hmm, I feel this leading more towards Mahler
HEROIC!!!!

I like the artwork you put with your videos. They really compliment the music well.
Thank you! I try to find pictures to fit the music and sometimes i got it right.
No one bothered to tap 'like' until now 😁

Merlatin underrated❤
Very beautiful! It is more dramatic in Finnish music.
The score is available from the publisher Fennica Gehrman
Lovely.
Magnificent, thank you!! By the way, do you still remember the artist of that Painting??
The name of the painting is "Ice Islands" by Daniele Montella, who also goes by the name "Dan-Ka".
@@sneezyserena -- Thank you, friend......from Acapulco!
Still magnificent....2 years later.....now from Acapulco!

What building does the painting represent?
Wagner's summer vacation retreat where he'd go for fun and frolic to unwind
@@bridgetbardo5277 , well played! It's probably what he would have built could he have built his dream retreat.

Advertisements at the movement breaks are slightly more tolerable.
This Symphony almost sounds like something by John Williams to me.

Your loss.
