Jean Sibelius: Andante festivo
Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra, Mariss Jansons
The 'Andante festivo' was written for string quartet in 1922 shortly before the Sixth Symphony. The composer later expanded it for string orchestra with 'ad lib' timpani, and on 1 January 1939 he conducted a performance in Helsinki for short-wave radio transmission to the World Exhibition in New York. This performance was preserved on wax as a poignant historical memento. It was the last time Sibelius conducted, and is the only known recorded exemple of his conducting. The noble, seamless melody is as close as he came to a religious statement. There are, in addition, intriguing suggestions of Dvorak's Symphony 'From the New World' (or is it 'God Save the Queen'?) and Sibelius' own later Seventh Symphony, and an unmistakeable final 'Amen' cadence.
(c) Robert Dearling, 1993

I stand on the steps of my late grandmother's house, looking over the courtyard and the nearest fields, in the middle of the midsummer night. It is chilly as it is, lots of light of the night without night. The mist is rising, my feet are cold. Somewhere near, a sad sound of curlew is heard. The whole universe reflects of the same transparent light as this piece of music. I remember all the people already gone and away. I miss them, and still, at the same time, I'm thankful of standing there.

My father was an ardent classicist, and especially liked Sibelius. It got to a Sunday when we were going to have dinner as usual, and always heard a classical CD when doing so. Father announced that he had found a work he really liked and had never had it but had found it, on a new CD he'd bought. It turned out to be this piece. I'll never forget that Sunday, or sitting in the crematorium at his funeral which happened about fifteen years after that Sunday. All i can say is, rip Dad.

I heard that piece for the first time at my orchestra preparation because we had, and we currently have to play it. That evening I was nervous and anxious. When we played that piece. I got in tears and I cried. In front of the whole orchestra. The crazy thing is that my best friend got in tears too. Right now, every time I hear it I remember that beautiful moment of my life. It is crazy. Right now, all my orchestra plays that piece with passion, and we just enjoy it. Love from a 13 years old girl, her orchestra and Italy.

The Andante Festivo by Sibelius is a stroke of genius by an incredible man. This piece of music is so evocative that it can cause the listener to become quite emotional, and that includes me as a man, as well as other men who have told me the same. There is not a day that passes when i do not listen to it. It is magical in all its glory. I have a encyclopaedia of all the my favourite composers including the Baroque Composers.

@Jewelieishness 16 лет назад

The melody is seamless, the bowing articulation flawless, and the intonation is true. I listen to this whenever I need to soothe my ears - thank you for sharing it. This piece is so romantic...I would consider it one of the greatest works of Sibelius.

My dear much departed grand uncle,who had attended the paris conservatory of music circa 1907 to take piano,introduced me to Sibelius's music . I had heard Mather (whom my uncle said he reminded him of Wagner too much ) . But he was intelligent enough to take me to concerts so I could listen to anything ! When I first heard Sibelius and what I found remarkable with his orchestrions . The absolute clarity of his music is stunning .
