Sibelius: Symfonie nr. 3 - Radio Filharmonisch Orkest o.l.v. Karina Canellakis - Live Concert HD

[@pianistegolfeur]

Merveilleuse Canellakis ! Elle a tout le profil d'une future très grande cheffe d'orchestre : A voir son style de direction, on croirait à une résurrection de Bernstein au féminin ! Merci, Karina, pour le plaisir et la joie que tu m'apportes, longue carrière à toi !

[@ianglasse809]

Sibelius' 3rd Symphony is my personal favourite, albeit not as famous as his 1st; 2nd and 5th. I first heard this symphony in full when listening to my iPod on a train journey from Helsinki out to the western city of Turku where I visited the Sibelius Museum. This is a wonderfully clean and precise rendition which beautifully transmits the landscape of Finnish life and environment.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I have to admire Karina Canellakis for her work with this orchestra! She is so good in letting them know what she wants, and the orchestra responds easily. Together they are a team that makes Sibelius fully alive again.

[@LuizBHMG]

Completely agree!

[@jcui5007]

Sibelius has never been "dead."

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Not so often are Sibelius Symphonies played nowadays. Every time I can hear one of them it is sort of a celebration. So also this one, his 3:rd symphonie with its clarity, yet with the signum that Sibelius puts on all his works. And with wonderful orchestration where all instruments comes to full potential. And Karina Canelleakis brings out that to the outmost. Thank you! I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, listening to the wonderful second movement. And then the third movement comes and brings this to fullfillment. A triumph march.

Een zeer verrassende keuze. Deze symfonie van Sibelius is enigzins verwaarloosd en zeker In Nederland (ik heb de statistieken er op nageslagen). Dit is een compositie met zeer veel nieuwe klankdenkbeelden, zeker na de veel romantischer 2e symfonie en staat helemaal op zich zelf.

[@odul5421]

Een Symfonie om bij weg te dromen , mijn favoriete Symfonie

[@PearlAcoustics]

Wonderful performance! Such a difficult symphony to perform, the apparently ‘simple sounding’ often are. Fabulous. 🙏

[@staffanolofsson8201]

For "simple sounding" this seems to be relatively complex, is my comment when I have thought about it some time.

[@norbertodelcp]

¡¡Deliciosa esta tercera sinfonía de el gran compositor Sibelius y magnífica la dirección y la orquesta!!

[@irashatzman8458]

Schatzie This is an excellent version of the Third Symphony.

[@tamneal]

Superb - and for those interested: (0:06) I. Allegro moderato (11:06) II. Andantino con moto, quasi allegretto (21:25) III. Moderato - Allegro ma non tanto

[@chambermuses7802]

Thank you, Tam Neal. It is always so helpful to have these "maps"!

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The second movement, Andantino con moto, quasi allegretto, starts at 11:00. This must be one of the most beautiful movements all time, as I see it.

[@LuizBHMG]

The second movement of this 3rd symphony is maybe the only one I don't like in the entire Sibelius' symphonic repertoire. For me, it's too boring and repetitive, even if it indeed sounds good. ;) The first and the third movements are astounding! Because of them, this is the first symphony by the composer in which he shows his style as a unique one, although his first symphonies are majestic as well.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@LuizBHMG Funny, I like your arguments. Yes, repetitive, I agree, but boring, not the least. It we skip all music that is repetitive, well, not so much will be left. Schoenberg, and so on, But I like also the first and the third movements in this symfonie, as you do, so there we agree! But the second drive us apart. Greetings from Sweden.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@LuizBHMG I specially like his 2:nd, 3:rd, 4:th and 7:th.

[@LuizBHMG]

@@staffanolofsson8201 yes, I know that the second movement is the most popular one in this symphony and it has indeed a beautiful melody in G# minor. But I think once you hear a piece of music dozens of times, the parts that are more repetitive and simple start getting boring even being beautiful. :( The first movement is more like a development that always go in one direction and has a rich polyphony. The third one starts like a scherzo almost atonal and suddenly morphs into a triumphant ending in C major where many motives appear with different types of symmetry like in nature. At the end, the violins make an ostinato sounding almost like an echo and the oboes and horns hold on the motives and then it finishes in C major after some modulation. Exactly, there we agree! ;) What other symphonies by Sibelius do you like? Hälsingnar från Tyskland (jag är från Brasilien egentligen) :)

[@LuizBHMG]

@@staffanolofsson8201 ohh, yes, I speacially like his 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th… and many of his other works, especially some of his symphonic poems like Pohjolan Tytär and Tapiola and works like Kullervo, Lemminkäinen, Oma maa, The Tempest…

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Love the boutonnière the members are wearing. What a lovely performance of a piece with which I'm only now becoming familiar. I'm smitten with the second symphony, but I want to know more... And I have to say I'm impressed with the conductor.

[@markhayward4076]

Great to hear the Third performed so well by a conductor who seems to have a natural affinity with the composer. Well done, orchestra! Characterful woodwind.

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

Agree about the characterful woodwind . . .

A boffo performance of a brilliant and vastly underrated symphony. On top of that the filming and editing is without parallel compared to any number of other works I have seen and tremendously adds to the enjoyment.

[@icarofreitas6523]

Thanks

[@waggishsagacity7947]

A delightfully energetic and heartfelt performance of a happy Symphony [Sibelius' No. 3]. It was not only a pleasure to watch conductor Karina Canellakis' gestures, but her expressive face. One would not be wrong, I think, to suggest that she really enjoys conducting. The camera work was excellent: Responsive to the fullest to the musicians who played a segment, and moving imperceptibly from cut to cut. I expect that we'll hear a lot more from and about Ms. Canellakis in the future. She is, if I may say so, a musicians' conductor, and the excellent musicians of the Radio Filharmonisch Orkest responded to her terrifically. Thanks!

[@notaire2]

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Aufführung dieser nordischen und spätromantischen Sinfonie mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Die geniale Dirigentin leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!

The sound quality in this is amazing! Maybe it is because of this Covid-19-arrangement, where all the musicians sit apart from each other?

Are not the seconds from 2:55 and forward just phenomenal? Karina Canellakis has a grip on Radio Philharmonic Orchestra and will never loose it.

[@jamesneilsongrahamloveinth1301]

Social distancing has shaken up music-making generally. The players seem to listen more so the ensemble is better. In the first movement, I wish Karina Canellakis would think in longer phrases - like Sibelius. The arms are tense. There's too much frenetic beating time. She needs to trust the orchestra more . . .

[@staffanolofsson8201]

What is it to trust the orchestra more? "The arms are tense" "too much frenetic beating time". I dont understand. Listen from 2:30.

[@mrmetody9899]

II część, Andantino con moto, quasi allegretto - niebiańska, romantyczna, w duchu Brahmsa i Mendelssohna. Wbrew opinii wielu krytyków muzycznych ta symfonia w niczym nie ustępuje dwóm pierwszym, chociaż rzeczywiście zdecydowanie rzadziej jest wykonywana

[@barney6888]

These are all very excellent musicians, but I do not like the way they play this piece. I deeply love this piece and it's missing everything in my view. Sorry.

First.and third movements sound wonderful, clear and exciting. Agree, the second is more difficult for me, maybe slow? Can’t get the flow and feeling I hear in other versions. Conductor just fine.
