Sibelius faced human pain and suffering and transcended them to the realm of exquisite beauty and power in this seemingly contradiction of a dance in melancholy. As Keats put it: "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" even if the fleeting joy, as in Beethoven's "Ode to Joy," will rise momentarily and come crashing down- just like life with its ups and downs in a continuous cycle of beginning, middle, and end. Maestro Jarvi and his players did justice to Sibelius' music in this performance. Pay attention to the subtle tempo and dynamic changes to fully appreciate their great music making.
Face à l’horreur, face à la mort , il n’y a plus de mots, Seule la Musique Seule cette Valse triste Pour nous donner la main Pour nous soutenir Pour nous porter vers l’autre rive Pour nous ressaisir Pour ne jamais oublier Merci pour cette interprétation unique Merci pour eux
"Pour nous soutenir" ...You are SO right /vous avez dit toutes en Francais. Merci beaucoup pour vous s'encontrez dans ce monde. J'espere que vous m'excuse q j'ai oublie beaucoup du langue preciuese Francaise. BENDICIONES - PER ASPERA AD ASTRA and VIVA LA MUSICA
Paavo Järvi is always an exciting conductor (if you have doubts that I'm right, listen to his version of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6). This time, he adds exquisite, dramatic, body motion to the sad tale of the blind woman who's fantasy is to be swept off her feet by a handsome man at a dance hall. Sadly she spends the entire evening on the sidelines. One can feel the rising tempo of her reverie! A Wonderfully performed delightful piece by Sibelius. Thanks.
It's moments like these that make me appreciate that we are brother peoples. Though in the last few centuries the lot of Eesti has been even harder than that of the Finns.
Such a powerful piece and interpretation!! I just read the story/scenery behind it and I could visualise what's happening here so vividly: the dying mother who seems to awaken by hearing from the slit of the door this eery waltz-like music from far away starts to dance in her white night gown, but all the dancers who suddenly appear around, aren't real, are just the shades of what's already in the past. She even realises that, but still tries to re-live these ball memories even more powerfully, but Death knocks on the door, comes and takes her and her little son who was sitting on her bedside and seeing all this, remains alone. I didn't know this piece until now and I am so shocked by its depth and beauty💔 Perfect to explain how I feel as in 2020...
If you have ever seen the animated movie Allegro non Tropo the waltz illustrates a cat walking around a bombed out building sadly; when the music turns hopeful he sees the past and the happy times he shared with the people who lived there. The structure grows around him, the vignettes of family life come faster as the music reflects and then the happy times crumble into the reality of the now. Very moving and unforgettable.
Hearing this . Am convinced Bi polarity. An awereness of our insignifance in the Cosmos. slave to emotion. A gift embracing our mortality. Life is to short to drink cheap wine.
Jean Sibelius. - Valse Trieste Parvo Jarvi. Estonian Festival Orchestra. This is a delightful piece of music beautifully played by Estonian Festival Orchestra Conducted by Parvo Jarvi. I really enjoyed this music from start to finish. I’ll certainly listen to this music again. Excellent performance by musicians and Conductor.
En hommage aux victimes de l'attaque terroriste de Nice, le 14 juillet 2016. 86 morts et des centaines de blessés. Merci pour la minute de silence finale. Hommage à toutes les victimes du terrorisme aveugle.
A common complaint I have found with pieces Maestro Jarvi touches is the tempo is too fast and many corners are too jagged and not approached with more softness than angularity; for me- I LOVE EVERYTHING HE TOUCHES:)! Love, Laughter, Love
Very dramatic ending. Perhaps a bit overdone in the fast section before the end ... but top marks for doing something different with an amazing piece of music.
Sibelius seurusteli mieluummin liikemiesten kuin taiteilijoiden kanssa, koska liikemiehet puhuvat taiteesta, taitelijat rahasta. / Sibelius preferred to converse with businessmen instead of artists, because businessmen talk about art, artists about money.
