Lenny Bernstein……I love you❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇮🇱………forever! I miss you,Lenny. You were a great conductor,Lenny❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏。 New York City will remember you,Lenny………forever❣️
Magnética conducción de. Bernstein, imposible dejar de verlo, probablemente fue su debut en Londres y es obvio la pieza más apropiada, los ingleses son sibelianos fanáticos, hermoso espectáculo, aplausos apoteósicos al final!!!! PropuadaOnzxuccionxe
I was just admiring the sounds of woodwinds (very much including the flutes) and brass. It`s beautiful and powerful, both at the same time. Thanks a lot for that information about the great musicians! It clarifies all the magical glow I love.
I spent my childhood summers close to Sibelius' home in Järvenpää, Finland. I learned to love Finnish nature, forests and lakes. My favorites are the whooper swans of Lake Tuusulanjärvi, the sounds of which Siberlius immortalized in the finale of his symphony number five.
the last movement certainly is fast. I like how Bernstein starts off with a lightening fast tempo then gradually slows it down to dramatize the entry of the horns. the result is stunning...
That end makes me feel like im slowly realizing, whoa im starting to fly like a bird! Then the final notes! seems so tricky! So much pressure! That silence! It almost sounds like swans in the sky saying goodbye
Super extra gosh! You can say anything you want about this Guy ...slow Tempo...fast tempo..but He knew for sure what a conductor has to do with an orchestra.
All round perfection....fabulous music ...flawlessly performed and driven by a vision and interpretation that suited Bernstein perfectly. I do not know when this was recorded but time has not eroded the stellar quality of this performance. Very many thanks for this upload.
So somebody previous said it was recorded in 1965, amazing not one female in the orchestra! I listen to youtube classical every morning. First time I have noticed this no matter the orchestra. My granddaughter is an oboe player among many other instruments. So glad she lives now so she can have these opportunities. Really enjoyed Leonard Bernstein"s interpretation.
It was, in fact, recorded in November 1966 at the Fairfield Halls Croydon. How do I know? I was there. At that time, there were only a handful of lady musicians playing with the top London and European orchestras. Luckily times have changed.
Bernstein's version of the Sibelius 5th is completely different from Karajan's. But as far as I'm concerned, they're both magnificent. This one by Bernstein with the London Symphony is really fantastic, better than the ones he did with New York and Vienna.
A third very different, but no less fine version, of this symphony is by Herbert Blomstedt and the San Francisco Symphony. They did some very fine Sibelius recordings together, the antithesis of Karajan's heavily upholstered sound.
It's hard for me to understand why Sibelius didn't compose for the last thirty years of his life. His violin concerto is something insuperable. Gabe Meruelo.
Sibelius began work on an eighth symphony, but was dissatisfied with it being aware that his powers of composition were waning with age and eventually disposed of it. While he arranged pieces towards the end of his life, he did not feel that he could compose anything new that was worth playing or hearing and instead chose silence.

From 23:40 - don't think I've heard this section performed as fast as this ever - frenetic. Compared with Bernstein, Vladimir Ashkenazy's pace is practically funereal. th-cam.com/video/3Y_ApSeIoUI/w-d-xo.html
"I opened the door to heaven and God played the 5th symphony for me." Jean Sibelius

I miss you,Lenny.
You were a great conductor,Lenny❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏。
New York City will remember you,Lenny………forever❣️
32:30 to 32:45, I've never heard those 4 chords more together. Incredible precision by both Bernstein and the LSO.
Sibelius and Bernstein. A wonderful couple.
I have watched this many times. thank you fro this wonderful post of Bernstein at his most dynamic prime.

Bravo! A whole symphony of sound presented as Sibelius portrait of Finland.
Incredible. And the stars in that orchestra, Jimmy Galway, Barry Tuckwell, Denis Wick, Neville Marriner, Gervase de Peyer, and many others.

Noticed the same. Who are the orchestra?
This is much better than his last performance with the Vienna Philharmonic
deeply appreciate your pointing that out
Begin this video at 11:35:18pm to start your new year off right.

This performance is such a gift from the universe. Everything went so right❤
Just so soulful and glorious, a performance full of flame of life.
Best Sibelius 5th I have ever heard!!!
lmao
What about his NYPO version?
Thank you for this video! This is a masterpiece!

That’s how I have always felt. The final chords are the swans saying ‘good-bye’, disappearing into the haze.
@M D exactly 😀! I usually think with a lake as well but im sure it's different for everyone
Super extra gosh! You can say anything you want about this Guy ...slow Tempo...fast tempo..but He knew for sure what a conductor has to do with an orchestra.
O maestro deu um show de interpretação!
Que otima!
Immortal performance. Thank you so very much for the upload!

It was recorded at the Fairfield Halls Croydon in November 1966 with the LSO. I know this because I was at the concert
Oh what a great orchestra was the LSO in this years absolut top see also Brahms and Dvorak under Kertesz!!!.
Genius! And fantastic interpretation!

There were no women in the Berlin Philharmonic until about 1983. Karajan insisted on it, and some orchestra members resisted even at that late date.
Masterpiece !!
Lenny is a god

Recorded in 1965, I think.
Close.. It was at the end of 1966 according to the LSO archives
@@pegalob Correct, December 1966 at the Fairfield Halls Croydon and broadcast for the BBC in January 1967. I was at the concert
Directly from Mars….
Pretty quick tempo to start the 3rd mvt
don't forget New York
London, per below
Troppo veloce il finale!
though i love Bernstein, on this one i prefer Karajan. This is too fast.
The world would be boring if you ran it. Same-ville for everything.
my dude this is sibelius 2
Definitely #5
@@Ichioku you are absolutely right I have no idea why I thought so
I stopped watching after the dull and distorted horn and timpani playing. This is not music to me
You poor thing
@@davidmathews7941 You're a bastard. My personal opinion has nothing to do with you.
@@superalbatross There are definitely some distorted brass playing even from the beginning...Not at all the Bernstein usual rendition standard.
