this is fantastic, i’m a violinist who played this back in 2021 with a symphonic orchestra and i thought i’d never be able to relive the Elation his piece gives me!! thanks for sharing this, esp along with the sheet music lol

5:36 back in the day, when i accompanied hymns at the piano including "Be Still, My Soul" (in F-major in our hymnal) for my church's congregation, i wanted so very much to cut loose instead in the key of A-flat, tremolos'n'all, like Sibelius intended. Oh, well...

3:30 the design is very human

Great transcription and performance. Really captures the spirit of the orchestral version, whilst also being completely pianistic

[@whydoyouneedtoknow1121]

probably bc sibelius wrote this arrangement himself haha, though that does NOT take away from the skill of the performer tho holy frick-

Volt egy "anyósjelöltem" a 80-as évek közepén (akkoriban, fiatalon, Prágában éltem), na neki ez a Sibelius-darab volt a kedvence, persze az eredeti szimfonikus változat, amit egy finn úriembertől kapott meg hanglemezen, s akibe nagyon bele volt zúgva (éppen válófélben volt a hölgy). Nekem inkább a hegedűverseny a kedvencem, kizárólagosan Hilary Hahn közreműködésével. Sajnos Hilary-vel élő koncerten még nem találkoztam, viszont az említett versenyművel, Viktor Tretyakov tolmácsolásában, igencsak - Rudolfinum Prága (Dvořákova síň), 1987. november 13., Česká filharmonie, Vladimír Válek k.m.

Is this the same Tawastsjerna who wrote the well-known biography of Sibelius?
