LE TEMPO BON SANG ! ce n'est pas parce que le compositeur a marqué "andante", qu'il ne faut pas apporter à cette pièce respiration et retenue, comme le maître lui-même l'a fait sur son enregistrement en 1939 Que ce monde déshumanisé est donc pressé de nos jours !
You are absolutely correct, that's the heart of the piece and it's weak here, but are you sure it's the tempo? I find myself missing a bigger ensemble and especially the deep strings. ... I know, of course I'm familiar with Sibelius' own performance recording, and far be it from me to argue with the guy who wrote the thing, but I think that's too slow. He makes it syrupy. Taste is taste, I suppose, and this piece is very open to interpretation.
For really remarkable take on this piece listen to Kivinieme on sinfonia organ, also on TH-cam. One would be forgiven for thinking it had been composed for the instrument.
i think it would be nice if it wasnt too slow or too fast because andante means walking pace. This piece in the video here is almost jogging pace already. Slow down a little, maybe to 5 mins would be just fine. 6 mins is way too slow, too.
Sehr schön gespielt aber ein wenig zu schnell . Wie mein Vorgänger schon sagte dieses Werk unter der Leitung von Sibelius ist langsamer und viel Humaner Sibelius umarmt die Welt
It's funny, but I find myself getting annoyed when I hear the Andante Festivo being conducted at too slow a tempo. The piece originally was composed as a celebration, and there's a wonderful, exhilirated air to Saraste's interpretation that a slower pace seems to dampen.
its way to slow... of course, sibelius' version is even slower, but once you hear it (and play it) faster, there's no coming back from that... it is a beautiful piece. the problem is the tempo...
Arguably the most hauntingly beautiful musical composition ever written!!!
約６年ぶりに聴きました❤
やっぱり素晴らしいですね。
オケも指揮者もいい！
Morceau d'une beauté et d'une intensité transcendantes.
I feel such longing in his pieces... such love and sensitivity one can not help but to be moved to the point of tears with his music... Sublime!
wow! i have to play this piece for my middle school orchestra and it’s a really peaceful piece.
This is wonderful!!
LE TEMPO BON SANG !

The sound of strings is exquisitely beautiful.

So beautiful...
I think playing it slower sounds better
Why original version goes up to 6 min and this one doesnt reach 4
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
too fast! As Sibelius said, more humanity!

Just now I listened to Kiviniemi playing this on organ. Just wonderful! Thanks for sharing that. I’m glad that you did.

It's very top heavy. More cello and bass sound needed!
godibile
