Jukka-Pekka Saraste, conductor

約６年ぶりに聴きました❤ やっぱり素晴らしいですね。 オケも指揮者もいい！

I feel such longing in his pieces... such love and sensitivity one can not help but to be moved to the point of tears with his music... Sublime!

LE TEMPO BON SANG ! ce n'est pas parce que le compositeur a marqué "andante", qu'il ne faut pas apporter à cette pièce respiration et retenue, comme le maître lui-même l'a fait sur son enregistrement en 1939 Que le monde est donc pressé de nos jours !

wow! i have to play this piece for my middle school orchestra and it’s a really peaceful piece.

[@notaire2]

The sound of strings is exquisitely beautiful.

[@Vikazhogan]

This is wonderful!!

[@pedroalmeida9191]

1:16, just love it.

[@ok-bu7pm]

me. too

[@suna4664]

Beautiful music.. Antero Manninen ❤

[@moe671]

Powerful! This piece is remarkable. -Smiles

[@lmaoooojj]

I think playing it slower sounds better

[@moe671]

So beautiful...

[@noriemeha]

For really remarkable take on this piece listen to Kivinieme on sinfonia organ, also on KZbin. One would be forgiven for thinking it had been composed for the instrument.

[@mathildehasman-baarda7765]

Just now I listened to Kiviniemi playing this on organ. Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing that. I’m glad that you did.

[@PauliOlaviFI]

too fast! As Sibelius said, more humanity!

[@yeeshinwoon6867]

i think it would be nice if it wasnt too slow or too fast because andante means walking pace. This piece in the video here is almost jogging pace already. Slow down a little, maybe to 5 mins would be just fine. 6 mins is way too slow, too.

[@fpeigonet674]

Why original version goes up to 6 min and this one doesnt reach 4

[@wrneff]

You are absolutely correct, that's the heart of the piece and it's weak here, but are you sure it's the tempo? I find myself missing a bigger ensemble and especially the deep strings. ... I know, of course I'm familiar with Sibelius' own performance recording, and far be it from me to argue with the guy who wrote the thing, but I think that's too slow. He makes it syrupy. Taste is taste, I suppose, and this piece is very open to interpretation.

[@silvanocarbonelli5468]

godibile

[@shelleylove3311]

It's very top heavy. More cello and bass sound needed!

[@klausskyrim]

Sehr schön gespielt aber ein wenig zu schnell . Wie mein Vorgänger schon sagte dieses Werk unter der Leitung von Sibelius ist langsamer und viel Humaner Sibelius umarmt die Welt

[@gaetanomariapiscopo5637]

They are running to go home for dinner....

[@Vonette76]

Yikes why is this his so hurried.. is it sped up?

[@martapaloun.9155]

1:16 THEON GREYJOY!!

[@wrneff]

It's funny, but I find myself getting annoyed when I hear the Andante Festivo being conducted at too slow a tempo. The piece originally was composed as a celebration, and there's a wonderful, exhilirated air to Saraste's interpretation that a slower pace seems to dampen.

[@goodmanmusica]

Too fast

[@madalenarollo]

its way to slow... of course, sibelius' version is even slower, but once you hear it (and play it) faster, there's no coming back from that... it is a beautiful piece. the problem is the tempo...

[@truscorpio13]

You're kidding, right?

[@HoangNguyen-qe2kc]

Playing great, but too fast :(

[@technichy3633]

ew..... too fast....

[@ricasa2005]

Not good at all. Too fast
