That there was a connection between Jean Sibelius and Hans Rosbaud may seem more than strange. The result clearly showed that transparency and solid construction, essential characteristics of his modern interpretation, did not only determine his meticulous approach to the works of Pierre Boulez or Karlheinz Stockhausen. One need only listen to the martial chords of the brass at the beginning of Finlandia or the cantilena of the woodwinds in the middle section to be convinced of this. It is precisely in this program music, animated by a Nordic romanticism and exalting the will of Finnish independence, that the contrast between Rosbaud's lucid approach, his concern for clarity of contours, balance and differentiation of sound levels, and those trivial and heavy interpretations that undoubtedly contributed greatly to the criticism of Sibelius by Rosbaud's colleagues, is most clearly apparent. The respect of the score, as much for the dynamic indications as for the accentuation, the renunciation of any The respect for the score, as much for the dynamic indications as for the accentuation, the renunciation of any exaggeration, trivialization or equalization of each character and of the different parts, make the music here much more interesting than in the megalomaniac or sentimental interpretations that one is used to hearing.
In Tuonela's Swan, the sound planes swirl, but they are often almost motionless, exuding a peace in which every detail remains perceptible, though they are constantly interwoven in different ways. Under Rosbaud's baton, even the Valse triste - composed in 1903 and based on the incidental music for Arvid Järnefelt's play Kuolema ("Death") - escapes the thick "romantic haze". Rosbaud's purification of this piece, by renouncing all theatrical effects, really brings out the refinement of the work's musical language. It is only when the syncopated rhythm of the waltz is rendered accurately and distinctly that the subject of the piece, the birth of a hesitant memory, takes its proper form. In contrast, Rosbaud makes the climax, where the strings are concentrated with extreme density, the evocation of a past passion.

This recordings of Sibelius music conducted by Hans Rosbaud sounds excellent, a very good selected program, definitely a reference, beautiful, serene, Finland definitely has a very beautiful culture and thanks to Sibelius I disocvered it, a beautiful country!

[@barney6888]

Rosbaud is a great conductor. Another wonderful discovery from this post. Karelia is a favourite of mine. I'm old and tired and it's been a long time since I've been inspired to conduct my "Air Symphony", and this recording did it.

[@dejanstevanic5408]

Super. TY

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser spätromantischen und nordisch komponierten Meisterwerke mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Instrumente. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das weltklassige Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die verbesserte Tonqualität ist auch ziemlich hoch als Originalaufnahmen von fast fünfundsechzig Jahren vor. Wundervoll vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

Magnífico!

The background picture is a part of the painting "Symposion" by Akseli Gallen-Kallela. The visible characters are, from the left, composers Oskar Merikanto, Robert Kajanus and Jean Sibelius. The artist Gallen-Kallela's lower face is visible behind text at the top.

An intriguing image as the cover. . . I'm not sure what was meant. Sublime recording.👍

[@dielotosblume1205]

Nice rendition

[@steveegallo3384]

Interestingly, confusing “Dryad” with “Wood Nymph” may be forgiven for Anglo-Saxons or even for those studying Finnish itself at, for example, The University of Lapland (‘Lapin Yliopisto’) in Rovaniemi. So even as the Sibelius masterpiece ‘Tuonelan Joutsen’ is often mistranslated as ‘Swan of the Underworld’ instead of the rather more precise ‘Duck Underground,’ so too is the polysemous oronym “Skogsrået” confounded with its own homonym “metsämurmeli,” actually “Wood Chuck” and certainly NOT “Wood Nymph”! Cheers from Acapulco!

[@iivaridark6850]

Well, first I thought, what on Earth am I hearing... But yes, it is nice. I think about lightness and happiness, in military way maybe! Up until Tapiola, I didn't like it so much as the one by Segerstam with Helsinki city orchestra, it holds together better (well I'm just a listener of music). Well, Swan of Tuonela... Not quite. And Scènes Historiques No. 1, Op. 25 - III. Festivo not quite too (like the Segerstam w. Danish national orchestra more, it's simple and clear). But Rosbaud is interesting anyhow.

[@jesustovar2549]

That "military way" is what I mostly enjoy, I like powerful and dynamic music, energetic and dramatic but also with a very serene way but also peaceful and reflexive, which is why maybe I love most of the romantic works for orchestra.
