Sibelius - Andante Festivo

NEW Sinfonia performing Andante Festivo by Jean Sibelius at the North Wales International Music Festival in September 2015.

[@dddmmm21]

This is the music I imagine played as one makes the slow walk towards the gates of heaven, reflecting about the past life and as old relatives begin to appear in the horizon...

[@mojcamalovrh92]

Our orchestra played this masterpiece many times . I never get tired of it. This is music from heaven. I love it so much.☀️☀️☀️🌻🌻🌻

Almost angelic in its make up, Glory to god in the highest for all the colors of nature itself 🌱🌹

[@ilokivi]

Kudos to the North East Wales Sinfonia for a superbly paced performance, bringing to life that spirit set down long ago by Jean Sibelius of his love of nature and his country far to the north.

[@rogerpendleton5007]

A short but beautiful piece of music very well played

[@ceanamahima5129]

Ikrrrrrrr

[@이보현-u1e]

넘 아름다워 슬프네요 선율따라 맘도 잔잔한 아픔 같은게 느껴져 계속 듣게 됩니다 힘든 아픔이 아닌 벅찬~~형언할 수없는~~ 너무 행복해서 흐르는 눈물 같은것이죠🙏🙏

[@jockmoron]

A gorgeous piece of music, which I have heard here for the first time, Sibelius in sublime mood. Beautifully played by this small ensemble, and very well recorded too in a fine old building with great acoustics. Sibelius was a very good violinist and it shows. The unexpected percussion at the end came as a complete surprise. One of the many unexpected musical treasures that KZbin now hosts and you can trip upon. Thank you for whoever posted this.

[@MatthewHyatt]

In my opinion, it’s very difficult to nail the dynamic phrasing with the timing but wow. Just wow. Bravo.

[@cs51207]

The greatest song of all time.

[@sieboltdijkstra7309]

Ontroerend mooie muziek. Naar mijn idee in het juiste tempo uitgevoerd.

[@karohalme8670]

Superb! It was a pleasure to listen to Finnish citizens.

[@HoangNguyen-qe2kc]

They are not Finnish

[@waynesmith3767]

What was meant is it’s a pleasure for Finnish citizens to hear this wonderful music performed so well;the comment is from a Finnish person ( obvious from the name) and is a compliment.

[@daibach9044]

Beautiful piece, played so well., by a small ensemble. Excellent! Thank you, all!

[@yules2597]

Eu começo a ouvir essa música, eu começo a chorar. o começo é bem triste. depois fica esperançoso. mas o começo me corta o coração, é um misto de melancolia e final aceitação e fé. o só quem sentiu se sente tocado.

[@Polygor2]

Unmistakable Sibelius

[@cogidubnus1953]

I'd have loved to been there...magnificent

[@dancysauce3329]

This performance is amazing

Your welcome

[@Samuel-zs9lh]

WONDEEFUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLL!!!!

[@veronicawillimann]

Impecable interpretación... y muy bien la gente como respetó a los músicos guardando silencio...

[@antoniopapini9260]

muy buen registro

[@EduardoSanchezGauto]

Beautiful. Great tempo!

[@josemanuelbreafeijoo1156]

Exactly as it should be, expansive and evocative.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

When you are out to dinner with a nice looking, pleasant date and you are wishing you were here with that other person, that's how I feel listening to this piece. I dream of Tchaikovsky and the miracle of his Serenade for Strings.

[@newsinfonia9632]

Thank you for sharing your dream!

[@elvissgrandma3215]

Exquisite performance

[@MrDonaldmaddog]

Wonderful piece by one of my favorite composers.....kept waiting for it to be RUINED by a loud and obnoxious commercial.

I have to play part of this for my all county honor orchestra tryout

[@ceanamahima5129]

All the best👍

[@LiveLoveLaughTsukasa]

It's weird hearing this with the melody. We play it on our school orchestra but since I play the bass I never really hear the melody

[@r.m.s5917]

We also played it, I play Cello part.

[@noriemeha]

Played at Sibelius' tempo -(1939 recording of him conducting)

[@kykykykykykyky3964]

But that was much slower

[@stephenbonnette611]

@@kykykykykykyky3964 WAAAAAY Slower!

[@stephenbonnette611]

With that said - this is the tempo I perform this at

[@julezdacoolz5955]

1:50

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Just heard the 1939 version and this though lovely seems a bit to fast.

[@estherthomas5615]

This is way faster than the original, but still beautiful ig

[@normanmeharry58]

if you mean faster than Sib's 1939 yes it is but not as fast as some most recent covers.

[@newsinfonia9632]

Thank you!

[@pena1950]

Next play Sibelius in D minor

[@keiththomas795]

Great string playing which was obliterated by those damned timpanis

[@florinchirila9573]

I can understand that guy... he sat there doing nothing for almost the whole duration of the piece, and at last he had his chance to play a couple of bars... of course he'd make an 'unforgettable' moment out of it !

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

Florin Chirila it’s mezzoforte not forte, he played it too loud

[@vinskilindqvist4554]

Sorry it’s ”poco forte” but played like fortissimo

[@leventezsiros1898]

Is this a good piece at all? I'm just asking, I'm curious about your opinions whether it's a good or a mediocre piece and please tell me why

[@jounisuninen]

It's kind of "divine". Can't explain otherwise. But of course it is very "Finnish" too.

[@jeandeblaize4175]

Trop lisse, trop académique, tempo trop rapide, pas d'âme. À la coda on a entendu les timbales jouées trop fort et comme une pièce rapportée. Écoutez sur Y-T pour en prendre leçon, la version de Sibelius à la baguette, enregistrée à la radio finlandaise en 1939 ; aucune formation musicale depuis, ne l'a égalée De la beauté, de la solennité sans pompe, de la puissance ; une interprétation d'une force incomparable. .

[@Chris-sv1yt]

Et vous ne vous êtes jamais dit que l'on pouvait écouter cette sublime pièce simplement pour le plaisir ? Sans la décortiquer, sans l'analyser, sans scruter à la loupe ce que vous considérez comme des défauts (ce qui reste à prouver, votre avis n 'étant que votre avis). Vous êtes comme ces critiques gastronomiques qui critiquent mais qui ne sauraient faire pareillement (Paul Bocuse le disait :" ils savent peut-être, mais ils ne peuvent pas...") ou littéraires (peuvent-ils pondre un beau roman ?) ou encore cinématographiques (que se passerait-il si on leur mettait une caméra entre les mains ?). La France est vraiment le pays des critiques de tout poil, des donneurs de leçons, qui eux, savent et connaissent ce qu'il faut voir, lire, manger, visiter, acheter, ou écouter. Mais que ferions-nous, comment pourrions-nous espérer avoir une belle vie, nous, pauvres béotiens, si vous n'existiez pas ?

[@Allataria]

What a self indulgent piece of nonsense: a conductor for 10 string players? Do me a favour. At least one of them remembers to look at him flailing around during their performance.
