Jean Sibelius - Symphony No 1 in E minor, Op 39 - Järvi 

My brother in law is the one who turned me onto classical music and he was very well versed in it. He was the one who told me that Jean Sibelius once said: "Other composers give you pink champagne, I give you clear cold water." I miss him very much as he died several years ago. God bless you Vance.

A truly fabulous performance of this underrated symphony, usually lost in the shadow of its big sister Sibelius No. 2. Sibelius was simply a master of the awkward and dissonant sound which unexpectably pivots into the most glorious romantic melody. Just love the thunderous timpani ending.

Obrigado, "Jardim das Aflições", por me apresentar Jean Sibelius e sua Symphony No 1 in E minor.

Sibelius had genius for bringing feelings about nature to his music. Beautiful performance!

It's really awesome that although some moments clearly resembles Tchaikovsky's melodic and orchestral ideas, unique Sibelius' own voice takes over the whole symphony. Sometimes when you hear similarities between composers you could take it as weekness, lack of vision. But here is other way round: Sibelius takes advantage of "russian" ideas and develops music in a very own specific way: some dark orchestration, finnish folk melodies, chromatic passages, quick and unexpected turns in musical narration, intense dialogue between small groups of orchestra instead of complex polifonic texture, and so on. Finally he prevails!

Trazida pelo O Jardim das Aflições. Linda, bravo.

sibelius, the last giant before shostakowitsch, whom one could not yet guess, who was snubbed by maler, who themselves stuck to the 19th century and failed at bruckner. sibelius, who was inspired by the song of the swans, the mists of finland, your overflowing emotions. he created in solitude, found inspiration in solitude, left the 19th century behind without suspecting where the muses would take him. a giant of the north who was one of the very few geniuses who knew his own limits. truly a large one, minimalist yet complex! what is strangely brilliant about sibelius sit is that he already seems complete with his first symphony. his music is so dense that he can manage with the most economical means. maler could not harm him and shostakowitsch learned from him.thank you my prince!

"O Jardim das Aflições", o melhor documentário já produzido no Brasil, me trouxe aqui.

Sibelius has become one of my all time favorite composers!

That theme in the beginning of the second mvt makes my heart melt

Very impressive orchestral writing with great distinctiveness. A true Sibelius masterpiece.

Clarinet solo is truly sublime. Bravo bravo

1 Andante, ma non troppo - Allegro energico 00:08 2 Andante (ma non troppo lento) 11:59 3 Scherzo. Allegro 21:57 4 Finale. Andante - Allegro molto - Andante assai 27:26

O velho me trouxe aqui. A beleza da música transfigura nosso espírito diretamente para sensações do paraíso.

Is hard to speak about music.But Sibelius music is so full of everthing.Nothing is missing.

I remember the first time I heard Sibelius 1; I was in Madison, WI and it was 2009. Truly mesmerized. Love the abrupt plucking of the chords that ends both the first and final movements.

Nunca tinha lido tantos comentários de brasileiros em um vídeo de música clássica, que satisfação. Não vim pelo Jardim das Aflições, e sim por Sibelius. Mas agora sinto-me impelido a ir no caminho inverso para conhecer o referido documentário.

Maravilhoso ! Bravíssimo! Obrigada Josias ! Obrigada Olavo!

P. Jarvi’s approach to one of the most beautiful symphonies: striking!!. Thank you!

This is by far the best performance of Sibelius's First Symphony I've ever heard. It's a pity it's not for sale on iTunes ... but I did find one by Paavo's father Neemi Järvi, which is almost as good.

Performed this piece at university over nine years ago. When I heard it in real life for the very first time I instantly fell in love with it

Grato ao jardim das aflições, por me apresentar essa obra prima !

"O Jardim das Aflições também me trouxe aqui, espetacular!!

Valeu, Jardim das aflições.

Vim apreciar essa obra após ouvi-la no grande doc. Jardim das aflições. E que peça grandiosa, linda e reflexiva .

Absolutely incredible performance. Jarvi brings an exceptionally moving interpretation to this masterpiece and the orchestra is outstanding. The very soft echo of the final pizzicato is a powerful ending and perfectly played. Thank you!

Não tem como não associar esta maravilhosa sinfonia com o documentário O Jardim das Aflições. Parabéns para o Josias Teófilo.

I love the 1st Symphony. Pure Finland! Minute 36:36 absolut amazing! Fantastic!

00:07 I. Andante ma non troppo - Allegro energico 11:56 II. Andante 21:57 III. Scherzo 27:24 IV. Finale

Sibelius = big genius. What an incredible symphony! And that's his first!

Wow, this is absolutely dynamic sound on romantic notes. I am so impressed!

Hoje, dia 25 - 01- 2022 dia de São Paulo, um dia depois da morte do memorável Olavo de Carvalho é dia de homenagear nosso eterno professor com esse singelo comentário. Obrigada, Olavo!

The first symphony I ever really listened to, when my first wife introduced me to good music more than 60 years ago. It sounds even better now! Thank you all concerned (including my first wife)

Like father, like son(or better)!!...wonderful interpretation, great approach !!. Thank you!

Just gorgeous! So many contrasts. Maestro Jarvi! And the wonderful orchestra. Will listen again. Just learning all of Sibelius symphonies.

This was the first Sibelius symphony I ever heard. I was in college and it made me a lifelong lover of this remarkable genius of music. The rest of his symphonies are wonderful as well, but this 1st has a special place in my heart, especially the 2nd movement. Always weep hearing it. Järvi has a special touch for this music and this performance is sterling.

I'll be forever grateful to Paavo Järvi for introducing me to what I consider to be one of the greatest works ever - "Kullervo" by Jan Sibelius.

Excellent! I just read a review of this conductor and orchestra's recordings of the seven Sibelius symphonies. Fanfare magazine rated them highly and I can hear why.

I just relistened to this wonderful Symphonie. One word: Heavenly!!!!!!!!!!

Superb performance. Great clarinet solo at the start sets it all off. Excellent strings, really good ensemble. Woodwind found their way around the often quick and difficult parts with ease. Awesome power of the brass. Underpinned by some incredible percussion sounds. And all conducted with passion by Maestro Jarvi. Loved it.

Unique sonority in Sibelius music enhance it by this excellent Orchestre de Paris. Great!!!

Grande professor Olavo... RIP. Josias também está de parabéns, bela música.

amazing, one of the best piece of the classical music, it is one of the better performance of this piece if not the best.... thank to all that make possible this interpretation, the director simple great..and Sibelius always new...his music is simple, its music belong to another world, ...

Great Music, great performance, great conductor!

The Orchestra de Paris bas a magnificent sound and responds beautifully to Jarvi's direction. Thank you for the upload.

3:45...it's nice to see a conductor smile at the orchestra....team player.

Maravilhosa demais.... Arranca lágrimas. Trazida também pelo Jardim das Aflições. Grande mestre Olavo de Carvalho.

Ah, that 3rd movement! It may be very bad form, but I always want to applaud after the 3rd movement! It's so much fun.

Últimamente solo escucho música clásica. Todos los autores me parecen buenos, todos los intérpretes, geniales.

thanks for the great performance💕 i was impressed‼️

Jardim das Aflições me trouxe aqui! :)

Just plain and rare beauty!

I saw this performed at the Rice Shepard School of music and i was all but bawling during the first movement!

As all Sibelius master pieces this symphony is (as Maestro Papano says) authentic modern music, post romantic with maximum excellence. OMG the orchestration is outstanding as Chaikovsky's. So, so wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Arrepiante

Una sinfonía espléndida y excelentemente interpretada.

Vim por causa do documentário "O Jardim das Aflições" e da menção feita pelo Bruno Tolentino no prefácio do livro!

Oh dear God, really? Wow. I didn't expect it to end like that. I was waiting for E major. But that ending- devastating, in every sense of the word.

Breathtaking performance! The perfect background to a wordless film or animated story of a Scandinavian Golden Eagle family, hunting, nesting, growing and defending its young. Close your eyes and imagine it as you listen. You'll feel as if you are flying yourself.

Personalmente es la mas bella sinfonia de autor alguno...me traslada magicamente a Finlandia...soy fanatico de Sibelius...

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses nordischen Meisterwerks mit seidigen Töne aller Streicher, milden Töne aller Holzbläser und, vor allem, brillanten Töne aller Metallbläser. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit völlig effektiver Dynamik. Er ist zweifellos einer der zehn besten Dirigenten heutiges Europas!

Sérieusement, dans le downtown du sublime, d'un bout à l'autre. Génial !!!

Saudades, Professor Olavo, como se fosse um avô! Seu trabalho de fato começou. Uma honra ter vivido no mesmo tempo que você! ❤️😢💐

Wonderful. Exciting interpretation. Powerfully emotional.

That great tune in the last met is brilliant the whole work is never played much Happy Birthday Sibelius Dec 8

Bravo, maestro Jârvi!

Yes, “Ach du lieber, mein schatz”!!! This tremendous symphony is truly a “living, breathing, throbbing, organism”!!! Great performance! Mr.Jarvi looks like he was extremely pleased with the orchestra’s performance! Sibelius was truly a “master of masters” composer! Somewhere along the line, I got the impression he was a true CHRISTIAN, trusting in Jesus Christ alone as his Lord & Savior!! Will have to research that. I greatly want to meet him in Heaven if he was! I’m still stunned by this symphony & this performance!!!

RIP Olavo de Carvalho! Thanks for everything! God bless you!

I've just completed the reading of the novel, Remembrance Rock, by Carl Sandburg, in which this symphony is mentioned. A wonderful symphony at that!

Sublime-thank you.

Nunca pensei fosse necessário um tal Jardim das Aflições para se chegar a ouvir Sibelius.

So beautiful Symphony 1! ❤ In my opinion Jean Sibelius is the greatest composer of all time. Congratulation for Maestro and the Orchestra for this wonderful performance! Jean Sibelius, Paavo Järvi and Orchestre de Paris are excellents, formidable (je suis enchantée ❤).

Great symphony ❤ wonderful performance ❤

Love the the timpanist standing while punctuating the roll at the very end on each down beat. The roll was intended to be just a smooth long roll but it could have been the conductor s choice to accentuate on each down beat . Interesting

A masterful performance.

O jardim das aflições ! 👍

Thank you for stopping by the beginner RU-vid channel ,I'm from Indonesian , you're a great person , thank you

Saúde Olavão

Una sinfonía que refleja todo el prisma musical de un grande.

charming and beautiful performance .... what nice surprice

My favorite symphonies. 1 through 5 of seblius, especially no. 2.

Belíssimo. Também tomei conhecimento pelo Jardim das Aflições, que antes de documentário é obra filosófica do Olavo de Carvalho, salvo engano foi o poeta Bruno Tolentino que a comparou a sinfonia de Sibelius. Bravo!

Como Lorenzo (abaixo e há dois anos) também somente tenho escutado música clássica.

Jardim das Aflições, a sinestesia entre a sinfonia e a a lugebridade das ruas de Richmond é inolvidável !!!!

Magnifico, excepcional. Compositor, Director, orquesta, para deleite del oido, gracias Sibelius, Järvi, Músicos.

I'm very much looking forward to performing this as part of the Ipswich Symphony Orchestra this Saturday! The finale is breathtaking!

beautiful concert

Maravillosa, sublime, increíble!

Exciting approach!!, thank you!!

The one and only Maestro

I forgot how wonderful the number 1 is. May have to put it into heavy rotation!

Estou aqui ouvindo por causa do Olavo de Carvalho, que música, me faz lembrar o professor, como ele tinha bom gosto por música.

The legend of Finlandia.

Simplesmente genial essa sinfonia de Sibelius... Não deixem de conhecer Finlândia, outra obra prima do compositor... e por aí vai...

It looks like accelerandos are fun to conduct. Thanks for sharing.

professor Olavo me trazendo conhecimento e cultura musical. Obrigado professor!

O Jardim das aflições me trouxe aqui também!

Bellísima obra y extraordinaria interpretación.

O jardim das aflições, Mestre Olavo de Carvalho!
