シベリウスの交響曲は、どれも違った個性があり本当に素晴らしい。 特に崇高な７番、そして美しすぎて儚すぎる６番は、我が人生の至宝です。 両曲とも、涙なしにはとても聴けない…。

During a career spanning fifty years, Paavo Berglund (1929-2012), one of the very few left-handed conductors to have refused the diktat that all conductors must lead with the baton in their right hand, devoted himself tirelessly to popularising the greatest composer of his native land, Jean Sibelius.

The fifth symphony will live and stay young and beautiful forever and ever.

I have a fond memory of Paavo Berglund conducting a performance of a Sibelius symphony, in Bristol, UK, in my youth. I think it was the 5th. One does not forget such an occasion.

The last few months I've been immersed in Sibelius symphonies. I am mesmerized. There are many fine videos with excellent orchestras and conductors. I've also watched videos about Sibelius with conductors sharing their experience coming to the music and then finding access. Simon Rattle refers to Paavo Berglund as the person who showed him the way. I decided to go to the source and listen to this complete collection, one of three cycles that Berglund led. Who better to listen to than the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra? Thank you so much for sharing such high quality files.... 1080 p. These are brilliant... a perfect backdrop to a day.

I can not listen to #2 without breaking down and crying,even at the age of 81.

The first time I heard the 5th symphony, I was driving, and I had half a mind to pull into a parking lot just to make sure I listened to it and didn't let its name slip by me.

That fourth symphony is so dark yet so intriguing. I am no expert on music theory but it never seems to resolve itself. It must be one of the most original of all symphonies, as is the seventh.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser sieben nordischen und fein oder perfekt komponierten Sinfonien mit brillanten Tönen aller Blechbläser, milden Tönen aller Holzbläser und seidigen Tönen aller Streicher. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das perfkekt trainierte Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Alles ist wundervoll!

Sibelius‘s works are full of love for magnificent Finland. In these symphonies, all is far superior splendor

What a great composer!

Berglund's interpretation here is first class. Thanks

Listening on a Madrid morning, wonderful.

Beautifull Music. Im like Sibelius Finlandia. His Music is very Magic.

Благодарю за прекрасные произведения ! Музыка Сибелиуса наполняет сердце любовью ко всему Творению !!!

This is great, thank you so much! Greetings from 🇫🇮

I bought the CD set for this recording in Helsinki Finland.

This is my introducton to classical in my early teen yearsit will always hod a special place

Sibelius is a musical Alchemist who helped shape Finland‘s national consciousness.

Wonderful Sibelius!

Очень люблю музыку Сибелиуса за ее положительную эмоциональность.

Marvelous to bring all these together. Thank you.

Mes symphonistes préférés , Bruckner et Sibelius. Leurs symphonies patrimoine de l'humanité.

Cuando iba a los conciertos de La Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia, en el teatro Colón de Bogotá notaba la ausencia en las presentaciones de los viernes de las sinfonías de J Sibelius. . Gracias a RU-vid por ofrecernos la oportunidad de escuchar el ciclo sinfónico de el gran Sibelius por una brillante Orquesta.

I call this the "Urtext Edition" of Sibelius. Exact. I never appreciated the chattering dialogue between the woodwinds at the end of the 2nd mvmt of the 6th until I heard this. Another must have set for Sibelius.

Большое спасибо!!! Прекрасный сборник!☺🌿

BRAVO!

Evergreen symphonies.

Thank You, it's a very important cycle for me and my job 👍👍👍🎵🎹🎼🎶

I wish I were able to give a thumbs up to each one of them.

Excelente selección de música!!! Se agradece mucho.

A number of posters have pointed out Sibelius’s influence on film score music, but he shows up in the pop world too. Listen to the famous “wild swans theme” in the horns in 5/3. Now track down the Kate Bush classic, “Up That Hill,” which has recently been rediscovered, as has Bush herself. Same theme, and it’s even in the same key. You’ll also find that theme in “As I Lay Me Down” by Sophie B. Hawkins, and “Sunny Came Home” by Shawn Colvin. All these tunes are on RU-vid, so you can find them easily, and have a ball doing it. I’ll bet anything the latter two ladies nabbed that theme from Kate Bush.

Extraordinaire 👏

Superbes symphonies ! Trop peu jouées en concerts...

If you like Sibelius, check out his Nordic brother, Danish composer Carl Nielsen….his symphonies are here on RU-vid as well. Great turn of the century music!

De todas maneras esta es la mejor versión . ¡¡¡¡¡¡Gracias por subirla ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

2:40:40 this melody is so beautiful

The Second is my favorite!

The greatest............

SANS PAROLES, MAGESTUSE ,PAROLES BERLIN SUPERBE, HELSINKI ORCHESTRA MAGNIFIQUE , SIBELIUS PRODIGIEUX , MERCI !

I loves me some Sibelius.

Sibelius's works are NEVER "un-Finnished"..

The symphony no. 2 is my favourite one from the Sibelius' works. No. 2 is still in the style of late romanticism unlike the later symphonies by Sibelius. I think of Rachmaninoff symphony no. 2, it was written even a few years later than Sibelius' 2nd and it's still a romantic work. These are one of the last achievements in this old style. Later in the set, Sibelius ventures into modernism, the pieces are interesting, especially no. 7 and then 5, but it's not as charming and pleasant on the ear as it once was.

chévere!

Nice !

Peace and love in the world✌

Sibelius is the Scandinavian King Composer,for me symf.nr.1 and 2. Brynjar Hoff

Was a lot ahead of his time

Life!!!

1:10:00 !!! The opening up of the glorious Gates of Heaven :)

The Terminator theme is hidden inside the Symphony 1, 1st movement... Classic music is the inspiration for all filmmusic

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Come to think of it. That is funny. On the same plane of existence I mean - one time. I realiseI am treading water waiting for a new Justice to be confirmed. Hopefully. RIP Paavo Berglund. Paavo Allan Engelbert Berglund OBE (14 April 1929 - 25 January 2012)

what is the bit rate of these recordings?

Not "complete" in the sense of series. And Kullervo is a complete symphony. Sibelius included his 4 legends as a complete(unnumbered) symphony, and many fans and some critics, agree.

Agree with the poster that is of the opinion that Bournemouth cycle is even better than this Helsinki, fine as this one is. As for the 2nd Symphony (two posters choose it as their favourite) DO LISTEN to Barbirollís recording With the Royal Philharmonic. Such agreat performance !. Thanks.

Resolved: Berglund's Bournemouth Sibelius symphony cycle is better than this Helsinki one. Discuss please...

police nationale, qu'est-ce qu'elle a à me regarder, marie lernould ?

Pésimo capítulo, lleno de propaganda progre y del más necio buenismo.

increiblemente grandioso, la tierra habla en cada nota

Excelente selección de música!!! Se agradece mucho.
