2:43 is truly epic. This symphony is so romantic!

[@KuhlauDilfeng2]

The painting is called "Burg Scharfenberg at Night" and is painted by Ernst Ferdinand Oehme in 1827.

Лучше нужно было поставить картину «Гневъ Боговъ» въ чёрномъ дистинктномъ гротеске-дагеротипе Питера Пауля Риенса .

Thanks for the information.. 👍

I watched the thumbnail of the video in the bar of recommended videos for me and I said to myself that such image must contain great music, I'm happy to confirm that I wasn't wrong.

[@linomilita]

The timbre of this symphony is in assonance with my heart.

[@strangersname]

Extra star for that lovely word, assonance

[@12corners]

A person could do much worse than to devote their free time to great symphonies of the past that remain unacknowledged by those in charge of our musical tastes.

[@tjalferes]

There are none in charge of our musical tastes, and artists certainly don't require their acknowledgement.

[@patcowlet9692]

No doubt...This is my first time hearing thiis ...incredible music...powerfull..esp the opening....wow...yes thanks to they who found then ppsted this...

Yes, that secretive cabal of tastemakers spanning centuries of European music history. What a naive way of looking at the world.

[@richardharrold9736]

@@regpharvey well, who decides concert programmes? A lot of music gets flogged to death while a lot else of equal quality is unjustly neglected. If I ever hear the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini again, it will be too soon, but there are works and indeed composers that are rarely if ever heard.

[@MsVerlinden]

compositeur, chef d'orchestre, violoniste et peintre suédois, né à Stockholm le 1er mai 1872 et mort à Falun le 8 mai 1960. Il est surtout connu pour ses 5 symphonies et ses rhapsodies suédoises, dont la première et célèbre, Midsommarvaka (Nuit de la Saint-Jean).

[@giginorman1955]

The f minor symphony is so Joyously heartfelt to me. I really enjoyed the Performance!!!

[@MegaCirse]

Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction!

[@gerardbegni2806]

Hugo Alfven is known mainly for his first swedish rhapsody was able to write several great, severe and beautiful symphonies like this one. This composer should be better known.

[@atifcolak]

Mr. Begni you know a lot about classical music. Bravo

I was searching for alfven waves.... I was not disappointed.

Not many people know, but his nephew is the great Scientist and Engineer Hannes Alfven who was a pioneer in studying Plasmas.

[@XlikeZero]

I love all of your channels!

[@moltzer]

What I notice about many of these forgotten symphonies is that they start slow... but this is different.

[@giuseppedimarco8358]

Great Performance!

[@glou4]

Thank you! Your uniting of audio and video in your uploads creates so much atmosphere that it can, at times, be such an experience.

I am born all Baltic ancestty, half Swedish. This music cries out to me!

[@harryandruschak2843]

Amazingly enough, our local classical music station (KUSC-FM) finally got around to playing this work last night. A much better piece of work (in my humble opinion) then the usual warhouse associted with this composer

[@davebarclay4429]

I agree. It's always unfortunate when a composer's best known work isn't representative of the quality of his overall output. Ravel and Saint-Saens came to hate Bolero and the Carnival of the Animals respectively for just that reason.

[@amvalkyrie6496]

@@davebarclay4429 While that is the case with many composers, Saint-Saens is not one of them as the Carnival's first public performance was posthumously. Therefore it only became famous after his death

[@cabanatexel3681]

excellent channel!

[@julianfwong]

This theme somehow reminded me of the one of the 1917 (movie) themes, I don't know if it's 1917 main one or not but if you have heard 1917 one it's pretty obvious to find a commonality with some parts of the first movement here.... Nonetheless very great piece of music.

Symphony no 3

[@tomlin1312]

17:13好像有口哨聲!? 19:00可能是雲上日出出到一半時; 35:46可能是日落太陽接近或恰接觸地平線時,有皇家進行曲的味道(瑞典?)!?最後的日落盡過程特別輝煌精彩(其他樂段大多傾向沉靜內向 ),聽聽那短笛聲!

[@marsaeolus9248]

Does anyone know symphonies similar to this one? I only know Melartin's and Atterberg's works.

¿Qué me cuenta esta sinfonía? What does this symphony tell me? I mean a storytelling.

"The Bates Hotel As It Would've Looked In The Late-18th Or Early-19th century Had The Electric Lightbulb Been Invented Back Then",I think. Don't quote me on that though.
