This symphony for me is total perfection. It is not very long, but during its timespan it takes you on a remarkable musical, and emotional journey. From the rising C major scale at the beginning to the serene ending with echoes of earlier music the music forms an unbroken arch. The incredible harmonies, marvellous transitions, and the way the musical conversation is passed seamlessly from one “choir” to another is masterful. Rather like a conversation between people in agreement where each person complements, and enhances what the previous person said. Having created this perfect masterpiece it is perhaps small wonder that Sibelius struggled for nearly 30 years to complete his Eighth symphony before finally consigning it to the flames at Ainola. The serene ending of the Seventh, and the serene final harmonies of Tapiola taken together both form a fitting epitaph for the genius that was Jean Sibelius.
This symphony is an exsample of true prefection and i love the harmonies. Sibelius did finnish his 8th symphony a lot of times but he was never satisfied with the result
No dude. He barely got through any of the 8th. You can find it's performance here on RUclips, though.. And, what he did finish Finnish is spectacular--and I would highly recommend a listen. But the work, unfortunately, is nothing beyond a few sketchy pages of score.

Thanks for the video, the score has been so beneficial to my listening experience. Thanks for the clear recording, as well- so hard to find one of those!
Error in the score in the timpani part sixth bar after G (page 15 at 8:40): the third note d should be an e instead (in the manner of the similar sequence on page 18). Sibelius had no "on the fly" retunings.
Not sure what you mean re it's length? I was thinking more of people in general not knowing it - for example it's unlikely to be broadcast on popular classical radio (in the day time at least) - I have never heard it on Classic FM (UK) during the day. I find that very sad.
@@redsonnetmusic classic FM is a joke these days and every music fan knows this. It's been overrun by the woke mob and the "let's shove more overplayed Sousa marches down people's throats" crowd.
I want to think that Hans Zimmer took a lot of inspiration from this episode of the symphony, in terms of orchestration and melody for his "Interstellar" soundtrack.
Noteworthy is the first ms. The basses are on their lonesome an 8ba from the rest of the strings. Not doubling the basses was Sibelius' way of handling such low and thick textures. If he had doubled that lower line, the result would have made the low bass line more prominent, and the lower textures way too thick. Another way to handle the situation would have been to use a contra bssn. and tuba rather than the basses. This probably would have been a cleaner sound, strings vs. wind instruments, but his orchestration does not include the c. bssn.
One small critique. Having two sets of advertisements interrupting the flow of the music is really insensitive and disrespectful. I will continue to listen to this masterpiece multiple times, but not here. While I appreciate the work of synchronising the music with the score, the jarring impact of the crass adverts is unbearable. Please show the music more respect. Adverts at the beginning, and the end if you must…but NOT mid flow please.
I'm very sorry for the ads, but I can't control them as far as I know. I've RUclips premium myself and I've always used adblocker so I haven't really even considered my videos having ads. But I do agree. that such beautiful music shouldn't be interrupted by noisy and annoying advertisements.

5:07 has to be one of the most beautiful cadences ever made
Sibelius 7 start up
Amen.
this symphony gives me goosebumps. every freaking time
5:07 😱🇫🇮🇫🇮❄️❄️
Among the greatest symphonies ever written.
Try Shostakovich symphony 7, also in C major
@@jackminto7062 He quite possibly already has.
No: LA MEJOR DE TODAS.
Hallelujah
@@jackminto7062 Loud noise, cheap thrills , sorry.,. not remotely on a par with Sibelius 7.
I can’t think of another symphony that I enjoy more than this one
This symphony is an exsample of true prefection and i love the harmonies. Sibelius did finnish his 8th symphony a lot of times but he was never satisfied with the result
"finnish" haha very punny
You should have put the finland flag 😆
Sibelius did "finnish" his 8th.....Didn't he ?
No dude. He barely got through any of the 8th. You can find it's performance here on RUclips, though.. And, what he did finish Finnish is spectacular--and I would highly recommend a listen. But the work, unfortunately, is nothing beyond a few sketchy pages of score.
@@callmeBe no, sibelius burned those pages once finished, that's why we didn't find anything more than those sketches.
5:07 is what you're here for :D
18:00 is what I'm here for ;-)
Sibelius 7 software startup song.
Haha nice one
does anyone know what the new startup theme is?
The Classical Nerd of Classical fuck up then and move on, child

Köszönöm az értékelést
Köszönöm az értékelést
there is only one movement
But four sections
Three Microseconds Building Incorporated yes
The more I listen to it........the more I fall in love with it. Especially the part at 14:03.
Thanks for the video, the score has been so beneficial to my listening experience. Thanks for the clear recording, as well- so hard to find one of those!
20:25 for all you old school Sibelius 2 users!
0:55 [flutes - clarinets]
1:38 [descending thirds]
2:04 [ppp tutti + timpani]
2:33 [strings]
omg that ending is so passionate, i love it so much
The British theologian N.T. Wright was spot on about this symphony - it is MASTERFUL!
Error in the score in the timpani part sixth bar after G (page 15 at 8:40): the third note d should be an e instead (in the manner of the similar sequence on page 18). Sibelius had no "on the fly" retunings.
A favorite of all music lovers. Me included.
Isn't it the case, rather, that most people haven't heard this music?
Red. It is only 23 minutes long and that could be the problem. The vast number of Sibelius lovers know it well.
Not sure what you mean re it's length?
I was thinking more of people in general not knowing it - for example it's unlikely to be broadcast on popular classical radio (in the day time at least) - I have never heard it on Classic FM (UK) during the day.
I find that very sad.
@@redsonnetmusic sadly most likely
@@redsonnetmusic classic FM is a joke these days and every music fan knows this. It's been overrun by the woke mob and the "let's shove more overplayed Sousa marches down people's throats" crowd.
15:05 error in the score, there should be a BASS clef before the horn entry on the low D.
Thank you so much for this video. Made my day. Thank you. For real.
I think 21:58 is sampled in Revolution 9
Yeah, John used that
1.Adagio 00:00
2.Vivacissimo 09:50
3.Allegro moderato 13:47
4.Adagio - Largamente molto - Affettuoso 17:59
5:00 I can see Finland's northern lights
Two Set Violins?
@@aatim2308 mate, you know the answer to that 😉😉
😃
I can see my notation program opening
Two set
Thanks for sharing this.
Bravo bravo bravo
3:22 - excerpt 2
9:50 - excerpt 3
14:20- excerpt 4
Yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Honestly, it looks most like a poem than an actual symphony but of course it is still musically marvelous.
what would the clash royale king say about Sibelius 7
If this played in your head while assembling IKEA stuff the world would be a better place.
21:57 for the bois who came for Revolution 9
There is some similarity here with Maria from West Side Story by Leanard Bernstein.
I love the brass parts
16:10- T
18:42 - y
20:50 - omega
amazing
Oh!
Knowing all his symphonies and loving his style I must say; So less further development since the 1st and 2nd...(ok and the 5th)
The ending is like appearance of dawn and the sun rising.
11:03

Inspira creacion pura😢

Nothing tops this imho.

Hi
I’m the 40th like
Why is it so hard to listen?
ikr but I love it
because it is actually a boring large slow movement, honestly.
Short attention span?
