Stunning performance by a group of fresh and talented artists ! I found here all I like about classical music : sharp, frisky, energic, expressive, inspiring and moving. A dream come true... Thank you very much for posting this engchi93 !
Well, I have a lot of diferent performances of this symphony, but nome of then is those you indicate me. However, I know the Berstein's performance and I believe that Szell performance still deserves the gold medal. :-))
Even in his earlier symphonies, Sibelius's orchestra seems to rise organically up from the earth. It truly is a new symphonic form and he was a genius. A pity he quit composing relatively early---maybe he had nothing else to say--and what he said was plenty.
5:51 what happened??? this was supposed to be slow and amazing, heavenly! my heart sank, internet will never capture the grandness of live performance...
I have heard Vanska and Bernstein' s performances. But Szell's performance with the Concertgebouw in 1964 is the best. Sorry. I beg to differ on your comment.
I guess you never heard Vanska's, Segerstam's, or Bernstein's performances then have you? Because they blow Szell out of the water. Szell was a competent conductor, but he has been bettered by the younger generations.
@snarfeater why swear on the internet? I'm glad you're enthusiastic, but it shows your lack of word vocabulary. could fit about 1000 words in place of 'ass'

Wonderful
thank you for posting it!
This is freakin amazing :)
I'm 18, if I was in an orchestra with Sir Colin Davis I wouldn't suck that's for sure!
I love it
I keep thinking I would like to hear a live performance of this. Sorry I missed this one though. Parts 2 and three also fantastic.
Gracias , maravillosa interpretación .¡¡¡¡¡¡¿por favor puede subirla completa?¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I absolutely agree. Szell was perfect in every detail.
Thanks by your sugestion!

Great performance!
But, the best of all is the old one directed by George Szell.

Because it's from Finland, I always imagine harsh Winters and amazing Spring time

This is just. HOLY SHIT.

ohhhh nooooooo!!!!!!
The greatest Sibelius conductor of the 20th century was, for me, Sir John Barbirolli.......with his Halle Orchestra of course!!!
Listen to Okko Kamu and BPO, or Sir Thomas Beecham
