@@heavydirtysoul1111 Yes Swexit, when Finland 1809 decided to go to Russia. Luckily they 1917 came to better thoughts and decided to be a free country. Finland has always gone its own ways, quite independent of the rest of the world. As we can hear in this song :-)
@@staffanolofsson8201 Thank you for the free history lesson but I'm Finnish and as per my opinion every Fin should know our history, except lots of it has either not been documented or it has been tampered on history books.

Pekka Kuusisto’s hilarious Proms encore - My Darling Is Beautiful 16.7.23 2010pm he's conducting now..... at the proms. switch on to the BBC....BBC4. and just as he struck up the orchestra it decided to piss it down - very hefty rain it is. nice.
If Russian Empire is a continuation of Bysantine and the province of Finland was the last area which surrendered to USSR: then Finland was the last province of Ancient Rome
It was a unison double stop, meaning one string was open with the same note being fingered on another. This produces both that out-of-tune sound as you can hear very clearly the differences in intonation between the fingered note and the open and the no-vib because you can't use vibrato on an open string. It's a lovely fiddling technique, not used often enough in classical music. It sounds particularly good on a Hardanger fiddle.
Well, Pekka, actually her eyes are cross-eyed - not looking in the opposite directions (is there one word for that), but looking for each other. And with a mouth over a fathom, it's a nice contrast. ...or at least enjoyable, witnessed the horses, too.
Even if the sightlines cross each other, the individual eyes still look in 'opposite' directions. Well, definitely less than 180 degrees apart, but still quite opposite considering the positioning and purpose of human eyes.

A good Finnish to the concert.
Nice !
Wow.🤦🏻♀️
This makes me proud to be a Finn.
Kuusisto celebrates bad taste. Please, see Batiashvili playing the Finnish "Evening Song". That is true music.
I remember when he came and played with us at the Philharmonia. He was dynamite. He used to play with a bow which had black hair on it, usually reserved for double bass bows. He also introduced some of us to some Finnish death metal which was a revelation...
Pekka is not just a brilliant player, he is an artist :)
Best live musican I've experienced

I met Pekka in Cartagena several years ago and he's a great connoisseur and even better person.
Cool folk song from Beautiful Karelia. Admire her pristine lakes, berries, vast forests and sauna. Thank you Pekka.
he's hilarious, LOVE HIM!!!!!
yes he is, this is how you transfer music all the others.
trhee times :D
Thank you Pekka!😊
What an entertainer! Delightful.

2 days ago we celebrate 100 years of Russian independence from Finland!
Yes, I'm sure it is.
*6.12.1917:* Finland got quite small, used to have like 10 time zones.
Depending on the point of view, of course :D
Now that's an encore!
One of the first songs I learned as a child.
What is it called?
@@felixchinde2209 'Minun kultani kaunis on'
Oramo is such a great and gracious conductor. I had the pleasure of singing Erik Bergman's Rubaiyat Op.41 as part of the choir some years ago under his direction.
This is brilliant.
Someone should make a choir of thousand people. Sounds great!
Is 10,000 enough? Here's Beethoven's 9th symphony with that: ruclips.net/video/X6s6YKlTpfw/видео.html
He just did :)
I have a CD with a 10.000 male choir from South Africa.
Anne Wilson is correct. Our Southern neighbour´s song festivals are HUGE and I envy them! :)
Paul, you must be American? Any European would notice those tiny pronunciation errors... It sounded great though... :)
Pekka is awesome
Brilliant! Wish I was there...
Brilliant! Made my day.
Thank you this was great !!!!!
I just heard about this on NPR. He's quite the entertainer.
this is so awesome
Oh Pekka! Brilliant!! :D
Almost exactly 4 and half min. Wow
Amazing talent

Ah yes. The accent.

If Russian Empire is a continuation of Bysantine and the province of Finland was the last area which surrendered to USSR: then Finland was the last province of Ancient Rome
Never part of the USSR, though. So we quite decidedly kicked ourselves out of the grand Roman civilization.
Never was Finland part of the USSR, although it wasn't Stalin's fault for not trying 😎
ei paremmin ois voinu mennä
Sounds like röntyskä :-)
How he trained that principal violinist to play slightly out of tune and with no vibrato is simply astounding.
It was a unison double stop, meaning one string was open with the same note being fingered on another. This produces both that out-of-tune sound as you can hear very clearly the differences in intonation between the fingered note and the open and the no-vib because you can't use vibrato on an open string. It's a lovely fiddling technique, not used often enough in classical music. It sounds particularly good on a Hardanger fiddle.
Bare bra! Thanks. I couldn't believe the question. It's fiddling. just fiddling.

But he has a bakteria fobia, that´s what I´ve heard.
So?
Why does his English sound like half Finn half Swede talking at some points?
