Jean Sibelius - Valse Triste

[MegaScottyHottie]

This was played at my father's funeral - he loved classical music and this summed up his life - the despair and the joy....the ups and downs...

[123must]

Beautiful music and pictures !

A lot of thanks

[Helionstop]

Belle immagini, l'ho caricato anch'io nella versione di Herbert von Karajan. Gran bella musica!!!!!

[injamaven]

was this the piece that did it? It's so amazingly haunting - a feeling-tone all its own.

[luckyowl249]

Kiitos!

[NostalgicNorthland]

Fantastic music - conjures up so many wonderful images...these things cannot really be expressed in words and are best left to the music....lovely video.

[Masterpeewee]

Read a bit about him, he sounds amazing. Through periods of deep depression and solitude to blinding glory and triumph. The swans of his youth lol.

[janvanbrug]

kiitos paljon

[injamaven]

it was "I love a Mystery" I don't remember when, but the theme haunted me. It has a feeling tone unlike anything else-- that 1st few measures, so unresolved, and sad. . . Can't say what it feels like, only exists in music.

[kiwicoco971]

Thank you from sherbrooke -5GMT canada

More of this kind,please.

[SoldatSolutrea]

Instead of simply allowing the music to be siphoned off at the end, it should rise into an ultimate dynamic of volume playing on the same melody while shifting into a slightly different phase of the song. This would be outstanding

[MyAcedog]

Where's the rest of it?

08 joulukuu 1865 Tämä päivä jolloin hän syntyi Jean Sibelius, joka oli päivämäärä ja kellonaika Jumala valmistunut maailman kauneus.

08 December 1865 This day when he was born Jean Sibelius, that was the date and time God completed the beauty of the world.

[KoivuTheHab]

@NurNasib god had nothing to do with it, but thanks anyway.

Täs tulee jotenkii mielee tuntematon sotilas

[donaldrose]

I was about 4 or 5 years old in Winnipeg Canada and there was a Sunday afternoon music program introduced with this. Something went Twang! in my little brain and I became a music lover and performer for the next 64 years.

I can't express in words what this conjures in my mind but it is my personal, special, wonderful world. Thank you Jean Sibelius from the depths of my musical soul.

[m5rule]

@donaldrose You sayed it !!!! That`s what loving music, is all about !!!

[SanzianaKonig]

my favourite song EVER

[murkserious1600]

0:37 someone coughed..

[Horotulppa]

not the full Valse Trieste- kuolema

[ghadira]

Sibelius! melancholy music and also great compositions. Perhaps reflecting the Finnish character. I live in a Mediterranean country so this type of music is rather depressing. Nevertheless, I like it and will listen to it whenever I can. Great composer.

[injamaven]

Such a strange piece. What gives it it's odd flavour? That falling note at the end of each phrase. . . very moving. Does it say: Finnish?

[MarcheseCadmio88]

Viva! Sono il centesimo a votare.

E ovviamente 4 stelle per il mio preferito!

[ppetracco]

Hey, does anyone know what is the Sibelius piece from which a sample was used in The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows"?

[thedustyblaasch]

Such a beautiful piece....but a sad story...

[sabinabarbara]

grazie cara concetta,un abbraccio,a presto serena notte,bellissimo

[ConteSakurai]

Questa è ARTE!

E al diavolo il caro Adorno e le sue critiche mitteleuropee.

La musica finlandese non può essere paragonata a quella tedesca: sono due mondi separati e nessuno dei 2 va denigrato.

[Clarinet16]

the next time you can upload it full

[Kapomafioso]

Is THIS the Valse Triste which is paraphrased by Gyorgy Cziffra? (or is it only a match in name of composition?)

[aifoSka]

So what if they drank bit too much? It was very common on that time :O and if I could make this kind of music when i'm wasted i would drink all day long! :D Hyvä suami ristus me jyrätään!

[xyxerus]

@aifoSka I salute you!

[VenomousSixx]

@aifoSka WELL SAID! ;D

[jusbanX]

I think you should write only in finnish.

[Hucleberry88]

Great song from a great finnish lad.

I personally think he is the best composer of Finland

[roaringdinoo]

maybe he or she is foreign and doesn't know the right word to say

[Hucleberry88]

Well thats right im finnish so i dont speak english very well

[sdsti]

@Hucleberry88 That's not an excuse.

[bbrriiaann9922]

He's the only composer of Finland!!!! xD Nah.....I have no idea what I'm talking about.

[Hucleberry88]

I dont rly know..... ishould since im finnish @____@

[Ptuutti]

@bbrriiaann9922 well, that's worng; There are others, he's just the best known.

[NoddyShoulder]

This was so peaceful that I almost cried.

Sorry if I tell you this, but. Sibelius (The National Composer), Akseli Gallen-Gallela (The National Painter), Eino Leino (The National Poet) were heavy drinkers and spent their free times in Kämp-restaurant, but whattahell.

[hattarahusaari]

That`s what we Finns are, heavy drinkers, one way or another.

[HatakeMegumi]

Well, Canada's first prime minister, John A. MacDonald was an alcoholic was went to parliament drunk sometimes and he was one of the men who helped bring a good chunk of Canada together. Not that I encourage alcoholism or anything, but just to say that drunks can be brilliant as well.

[CeaserXIX]

They were heavy drinkers, and so what?

[HiyaHolaHey]

Thanks a million for posting this gorgeous piece!!!

[Suomiapina]

kaunis on ja rauhoittava kappale..

[KoichiSakurai]

Sibelius è stato (ed è tuttora) uno dei compositori più bistrattati dalla critica accademica. Adorno lo definì dilettantesco e privo di forma, per non dire altro. Personalmente consiglierei a quei signori di vergognarsi profondamente, perché Sibelius è stato il compositore più sincero e d'ampio respiro della storia musicale, l'unico che sia mai riuscito a commuovermi DAVVERO.

[anabbovan]

prekrasno...really lovely, thanks

[leopictor]

sono talente daccordo! Per me (e tanti inglesi) Sibelius è uno dei maetri puì grande della musica!

[kn1ghtstemplar]

triste ma ce pace nei colori.

[leopictor]

finisce pria della melodia inizia!

[bralla69]

Sibelius est un maitre absolu,sa musique vient du mystère de la nature et nous parle à plusieurs niveaux...Quelle beauté!!!

[lolrandomjokehere]

magnifico

[Volturibeauty]

So beautifull!!!

[catchersmitt0]

This wasn't all the music. The full piece goes on longer than this.

[Galiah13]

You are right!It^s a pity:the first beautiful imagination was spoiled! I love this Valse with Karayan! It^s not bad also with Vladimir Fedosseev as conductor.

[miaobauaugh]

il significato di questo componimento che raggiunge nel valzer la sua massima forma è meraviglioso: la dolce ragazza, protagonista della favora per la quale sibelius ha composto la musica, in virtù della amicizia con il suo autore, si fa il suo ultimo valzer, lei malata, che sogna di danzae con la morte...e alla fine del valzer muore davvero... che stupenda musica che evoca il dolore e la nostalgia

[Helionstop]

Mi sembra che Sibelius l'abbia composta dopo la morte del cognato. Ed è sì un valzer con la morte.

[miaobauaugh]

i oso solo che è ispirata a una fiaba.... non so se vi siano poi stati elementi personali anche...ma so che la amicizia con l'autore di questa triste fiaba abbia condotto il grande musicista a comporre ... mi informerò a riguardo

[kociobialas]

it's what a like: music and nature,nice video.

[mauvetys]

I like a lot!!!!

thanks*

[miaobauaugh]

concordo dolce sofia..... sai il significato dell'opera valzer triste?
