Hi, friends and lovers of symphonic music. I have become a Sibelius fan in my older days and am apt to go to Lahti to listen to his fifth soon ! This is Alla Marcia from the Karelia Suite and .....well it always gives me goosebumps as it also makes something swell in my chest ( maybe I´m just proud to be a son of my country Finland, that gave birth to such a wonderful composer as Jean Sibelius ! There might be those of you who are familiar with this great symhonists work ! in any case, let the music just make your chest swell with joy, like it does with me !:)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIois3GaegkCheers Dani

I love the melody to Finlandia. We have several hymns in our United Methodist hymnal based on this wonderful piece of music. Sibelius wrote some beautiful music.

Yes, and extremely dynamic orchestral piece.
Absolute genius, there's no question about that.
Perhaps even under-rated.

Hi Dani.
Yes you’re right! Sibelius is such an important and celebrated figure in not just Finnish music but world music too,I do hope young people can understand the greatness of this Scandinavian Master,I know I have admired Sibelius for decades now and have recently enjoyed the Lemminkainen (do excuse the spelling here!) legends especially The Swan Of Tuonela,what a magnificently haunting piece that is.
All the best to you.
Ricc.

Hi Dani.
Yes indeed,I’ve grown very fond of the superb 5th symphony,especially the magnificent finale with that wonderful horn theme,sounding like great bells ringing out,I was moved on hearing that that great theme was inspired by a family of swans flying past Sibelius’s home in Ainola I think,also fascinating is the ending those massive big spaces out chords,very unusual and very powerful!

Hi Dani.
Glad to be of help Dani! An interesting idea having weekly performances of Sibelius music,there’s plenty of good stuff to choose from.
I studied music history at school and have learnt plenty from books and tv/radio over the years,also I am fascinated that the great English conductor Sir Thomas Beecham who is well known for his championing of Delius was also a superb interpreter of Sibelius too,2 very different composers but both brilliant describers of nature.
Nice chatting with you again.
Ricc.
