@@elephantsdontforget Good to hear that 🙂 Greetings to you from a Brit living in France, where Sibelius is not so popular!

" Uso esta maravilla para estudiar cuando estoy desmotivado y me siento mal." Eu também.

I love Barbirolli's performance, but it's a pity he only recorded two tunes, "Tuonelan joutsen" and "Lemminkäinen kotiinpaluu".

Yes, I agree whole-heartedly on Sir John's recording. But this is quite good -- very dark.

"The Swan of Tuonella" uses four images, how many are you referring to? The first, second, and fourth images can be easily identified with an image search, but the third image was created by myself by processing multiple images, so no other identical image exists. Thanks.

film "composers" are always ripping off romantic composers ...the music for "the Lord of the Rings" trilogy of films was ripped off from Sibelius too.

愛国心とは少し異なる気もしますが。日本の伝説や民俗説話（の持つ幻想性）に対して私たちが抱く憧れや畏れ、といったものに近いのではないでしょうか。

I would not say this is the clearest example of it, but the national romantics didn't shy away from patriotism. Sibelius also composed some pieces of famous and now traditional military music where this is more explicit and admitted by him literally. Jaeger march, for example, which was composed by him to the words of a Finnish jaeger in Germany, in preparation for fighting for Finnish independence, was inspired according to him while he was gripped by tremendous spirit of patriotism. This goes a long way from modern spirit, which disregards the fate of the country, let alone the people. Serious times produced serious personalities. Life or death themes were experienced personally by the generations of the past.

@M S Right ... I saw & heard fountains of chocolate milk gush from her paradise, without laughing the stars began to chat and ceased to scroll and we to grab hold of their golds at dawn. The sun was dizzy and the moon, stirred, hid behind a section of clouds in the shape of a barbapapa 🦄

Weird did you say? Indeed, how strange 😏🧐 @@hortenseweinblatt1508
