MAESTRO, it is a pleasure to hear your insights about Sibelius. The rehearsal clips of the original version of the 5th symphony are fascinating. One could not pick a better location for the subject than the masters homeground. Thanks so much!

I loved your commentary, Jukka-Pekka! Thank you. What an extraordinary opportunity, hearing versions of selected passages that Sibelius subsequently revised. The discussion and performance of the example from the final movement of Symphony No. 5 (at time 17:11) was a revelation. Grazie mille!

What a complicated man you are - but I suppose Sibelius was as well !
