I really enjoyed this - it's very imaginative with strong ideas that keep you listening and it's beautifully orchestrated - OK there's a hint of Mahler occasionally but clearly Melartin had his own voice. I look forward to hearing more of his music.
Where did you find this gem? I know the foremost Melartin scholar and she deemed this a sensation. I think this, alongside the 6th by Jalas should be released on CD.
I am enamoured of this symphony, but I have read that the score has not even been published. Does that mean it only exists as photocopies of the handwritten score?
Only the Sixth Symphony was published in Melartin's lifetime, the others existed in increasingly degraded copies, much annotated, modified and re-modified over the decades by conductors for performance... resulting in much uncertainty and confusion. In recent years, the Erkki Melartin Society has put great effort into a project to produce clean accurate scores of the Symphonies. This has been a slow and painstaking process, one of the first fruits of which was their new, most authentic version of the Third Symphony (you will find this among my TH-cam videos). Now, I find they have been making excellent progress; (GoogleTranslate) June 2019; "The Erkki Melartin Society's project to transcribe Melartin's symphonies is nearing completion. Symphony No. 2 has now been published , Op. 30, No. 2, in E minor , whose score and preface can be found on the Sheet Music page. The transcription work has been done by graphic designer Jani Kyllönen . After this, there is only Symphony No. 6 left, which was the only one published while Melartin was still alive. Like other symphonies, it will also be reviewed and published in 2019-2020. erkkimelartin.fi/em/
@@julianarculus2142 How interesting! It's a pity I could not get one of my friends involved. She was Pierre Boulez's musical copyist, but she died of an infection she caught at the hospital.

what an absolutely astonishing performance... Bet it was a great honor to listen to this live back in those days.
A thrilling performance of this fine symphony - many thanks for giving us the chance to hear it!

There is a tremendous drive about this performance if compared the otherwise excellent Leonid Grin recording.
terrific !...
