    I love this performance! Thanks a lot to the brilliant musicians!
    Sibelius wrote "Tapiola" in fabulous fashion, deriving all musical ideas from simple motiv from the beginning, building extraordinary orchestral colours, both meditative touching parts and driving climaxes, depicting forest in it's entirety, where depths of nature mistery are recognized in many ways: sensous, biological and mythological and even personal. What a piece!

      The symphonic poem Tapiola, Op. 112, addresses the theme of « Tapio » who is the mythological spirit of the mysterious and isolated forests of northern Finland who figures prominently in the Norse folklore of the Kalevala. The continuation is in my comment. *Lucien*

    The symphonic poem Tapiola, Op. 112, addresses the theme of « Tapio » who is the mythological spirit of the mysterious and isolated forests of northern Finland who figures prominently in of the epic poetry of the Kalevala. This eerie, haunting music evokes desolate landscapes, icy harshness, the strange play of light in northern latitudes, ancient, mysterious, dark wild dreams (described in a quatrain in the partition). She releases something eternal and dantesque. This poem begins with an austere summation in the timpani, then unfolds with a similar sense of deep logic, developing from a single central motif that is heard in the opening bars of the strings. Music critic Alex Ross called this last symphonic poem « Sibelius's most severe and concentrated musical statement ». Tapiola is filled with eerie, ghostly voices that sometimes emerge just above the silence. At times the tonal center completely dissolves and we are left with pure sound. The room's vast, windswept soundscape describes the kind of music Sibelius heard just before sinking into the silence of its final decades. The latest works of the greatest composers often give us glimpses of strange and terrifying revelations. With Tapiola, we feel like Sibelius is opening the door to something beyond. Since it is so, turn off any background noise in your saloon and listen carefully to the layers of sound that form Jean Sibelius' orchestral swan song. *Lucien*
    In Pohjola there are thick and dark forests
    who dream wild dreams, forever secret.
    The dwellings strange of Tapio are here
    and half-glimpsed spirits and voices of twilight.
    *Jean Sibelius*

    Simon Rattle è un grande Direttore forse il migliore con Muti e Mehta non capisco come mai non è stato ancora incaricato di dirigere il Capodanno di Vienna dopo 13 anni ai Berliner la London Symphony ed dal 2024 alla Radio Sinfonica Bavarese

      Forse perché a Sir Simon potrebbe importare molto poco di partecipare a un evento che è ormai, da molto tempo, divenuto una ridicola kermesse pubblicitaria per ricchi (quanto ignoranti) turisti. 😉

      @@JeanPaul-Hol65Non so se a lui importa o meno fatto sta che non credo gli sia mai stato proposto mentre Muti l'ha diretto 6 volte e Mehta 5 indubbiamente è una vetrina un pò snob ma anche un riconoscimento prestigioso per un Direttore d'Orchestra

    Sibelius' last orchestral piece. Written in 1926. He died in 1957.

      I was ten years old when Sibelius died. Whenever I hear his music it amazes me I was alive when he died. .

      @@englishrose47 Great comment, but the sadness was that he lived his last 30 years without writing anything. Think of how frustrating that must have been. And today's youth think they've got mental health problems!

      Well almost his last. The Tempest music came after out of which he fashioned two suites. They are arguably his best theatre music.

    Even if sir Simon Rattles version is OK I prefer the uptakings with Neeme Järvi, Paavo Berglund and Leif Segerstam.

    It is good, but a bit classical and restrained perhaps? The piece really shines when the music takes the dirt and debris with it in its surge through the forest. This is Sibelius mutating classical music into a different art with artistic aims that are no longer aligned with the german tradition. Tapiola is not noble, romantic or lofty (not that there is anything wrong with any of that). It is not even passionate, just as nature itself is not. It is real. The awe inspiring sound of the terrible mother that will hold us all to account, even Tapio.
