Jean Sibelius: Pelléas et Mélisande, JS 147 | Turku Philharmonic Orchestra

[@cyboman9171]

It really is astonishing how the musicians of this orchestra so subtly attend to the rhythmic nuances of this masterpiece.

A convincing performance of one of my favourite Sibelius works ​- to better appreciate how brilliantly the composer captured Maeterlinck's metaphysical, fatalist work, it helps to study a synopsis of the play. The movements are: 0:09 _At the Castle Gate_ (Prelude from Act I, scene 1) 3:46 _Mélisande_ (Prelude from Act I, scene 2) 8:18 _At the Seashore_ (Melodrama from Act I, scene 4) 10:30 _A Spring in the Park_ (Prelude from Act II, scene 1) 12:52 _The Three Blind Sisters_ (Mélisande's Song from Act III, scene 2) 15:23 _Pastorale_ (Melodrama from Act III, scene 4) 17:24 _Mélisande at the Spinning Wheel_ (Prelude from Act III, scene 1) 19:39 _Entr'acte_ (Prelude from Act IV, scene 1) 22:44 _The Death of Mélisande_ (Prelude from Act V, scene 2).[3]

Hyvä Okko, hyvä Turku Filharmonia. Syvällinen tulkinta.

Bravo! Well-played! Thanks for this upload of often neglected music from Sibelius.

What a performance, but why so few in the audience ? Missed a rare treat - an orchestra fully in tune with Jean Sibelius.

Kannattaisi lopuksi kuvata muusikkoja, jotka kapellimestari nostaa kiittäen esiin, kiitos.

[@sirdm8784]

This is Sibelius at his very best; he was in a class of his own!!

[@fulltongrace7899]

His incidental music sounds so different from the symphonies. Love them both. King Christian II suite is nice.

[@soavemusica]

Kaunista, kaunista.

British listeners may recognise the opening as the theme music for the TV series, The Sky at Night

Where was the audience for this fine performance?
