Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 5

[@nicholasprakash3411]

The last movement is one of the most profound, beautiful pieces of music ever composed. I don't know why I cry when I hear it. I've heard Sibelius Symphony #5 twice at Atlanta Symphony Orchestra.

It's still one of the best symphonies and the last movement especially, it's epic, it transcends anything that exists today.

Sibelius just has the most smooth transitions. It just feels like he is blowing you away with a wave of sound.

I had the privilege to listen to the Oslo Philharmonics playing this Symphony in Vienna two days ago. Now, after so many years the performers were no longer the same, but their enthusiasm was certainly still there. My son and I had tears in our eyes.

This composition will last as long as there is classical music performances in the world, as one of the most brilliant achievement of humanity. This epic work by the great composer Jean Sibelius is one of the pillars of the great symphonic compositions, with a unique place among the rest. Great performance...Great philharmonic orchestra...great maestro.

I saw this conductor Jukka-Pekka Saraste concucted Finlandia and could feel enough emotions of Finnish/Finland. Small country but Big/Great Emotions.

A true masterwork . One of the 20th century's greats .

I like all Sibelius Symphonies, especially the 5th Symphony. The Sound of The Oslo Philharmonic is breathtaking! Greetings from Germany.

[@normanwibe7080]

This is the best version of the 5 th I´ve heard on U-tube !

A tremendous performance. I am looking forward to this orchestra visiting Manchester this year. Great horn section, woodwind and rich shimmering strings in this piece, beautifully conducted.

A very fine video of the Sibelius Sym. #5. At the time,1915, considered one of the great symphonies of the 20th century. The final movement a profound telling of the composers mind at that time. A one of a kind for musicians as well as the listener. Very well recorded for 2008. Saraste his usual laid back conductor. Oslo Philharmonic looking like they love every note. Great stuff!

[@Infidelio]

Outstanding. It rivals, for me, Paavo Berglund. I like the way he brings out the dance elements in the piece and also underscores the motivic elements when they arise out of the texture.
