Melartin has really grown on me. I used to only really pay attention to his superb violin concerto (which I consider to be one of the best ever written) but his symphonies have become dear to me as well. He strikes me as Mahler without the exaggerated, rampant drama (though I say that with fondness; Mahler is one of my primary inspirations to be a composer.) Melartin has such an excellent balance between delicate, precise passages and grand orchestral statements.

Erkki Melartin builds his sonic architectures as a movement of sound masses that collide at blazing speeds and under so many different angles, delineated as iridescent areas of color on a map, all in graceful movements !

Good second of third hearing of this symphony. I still think his 4th is his best. But I am looking for a runner up. Bravo to little known (to me) Erkki Melartin.

No conocía a este compositor. Me ha sorprendido muy gratamente, Seguiré escuchando sus composiciones.

The paintings are beautiful, too! I wish you'd tell us who they're by, and what they depict. Thank you!

It's "Firewatchers on the shore" by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. I just used Google Image Search.

Une oeuvre très intéressante globalement. Vive Internet qui la fait connaître, ainsi que d'autres injustement méconnues.

Wasn't a massive fan on the first listening, but I liked it better on another. Still prefer No.s 4 and 6. (and the other three, but still :P)

Ha! Then there WERE actually two Finnish composers!!!
@feraudyh6 жыл бұрын
Many more in fact. Try Leevi Madetoja for example.
@johnleistritz52915 жыл бұрын
Actually there were THREE, also from the late 19th-early 20th centuries: Levi Madetoja is the third. Chandos recorded all three of his symphonies. Of course, there's Einojuhani Rautavaara (sp?), but not on the same stylisitic category as these three.

Currently: Aulis Sallinen and Kahlevi Aho. So here's two more LIVING, great composers for you. The Finns have produced many magnificent musicians, but geography sometimes imposes penalties. And check out the Estonians, amongst which I love Erkki-Sven Tűűr - amazing music.

Una discreta sinfonia ,tipica del periodo post romantico.Il primo movimento per me ha un finale troppo lento che di sente a malapena a pieno volume.
