Jean Sibelius: Finlandia (With Chorus) 「フィンランディア（合唱付き）」

[tomoyasuogata]

Thanks a lot for your comment.

[ilkkat]

Kaunis.

This is an ad hoc orchestra. It's not a student orchestra though it include many student players.

[pptthik]

This must be a student orchestra? Too slow at many places and does not master the expression of the piece. And as this apparently is a Japanese (?) performance, surprisingly too imprecise, too.

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you very much for your comment.

It's an ad hoc orchestra made to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Ichikawa Symphony Orchestra Society.

Its members are selected from three different orchestras: The Ichikawa Junior Symphony Orchestra, The Murakami Memorial Senior Orchestra and the Ichikawa Symphony Wind Orchestra.

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you so much for your comment.

I love Finlandia, too.

I also love his other works such as Symphonies

and many orchestral works.

[Paucce]

This sure makes a Finn cry for both happiness and sadness. I love my country and I love Finlandia.

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you for your nice comment.

The members of the orchestra would be very happy to read your praise.

[speedstick77]

Magnificent! Magnificent! Magnificent!

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you for your nice comment.

But it's not me but the players that presented such an impressive performance.

Please pay homage to them.

[Bdcorpuschristi]

I am so moved by your performance; it brings tears of sentiment and love for what it means for humanity. You have mastered the art.

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you very much for your comment.

Though they are not professional musicians,

their performance, I think, is worth listening to.

[jarituben]

Thank you ! Very touching interpretation....

市でもワンランク下のジュニアのオケなので

プロの演奏を聴いていたら物足りないと思いますが、

練習時間が限られているなかでは、とても皆さんよく

やっていると私は思っているのですが。

[g1733671]

いいですね～＾＾フィンランディア凄く大好きです。

ちょっと辛口に言うと、曲の出だしから、なんだか「ぬべ～～」っ­とし過ぎと言うか・・・・・、粘っこいと言うか・・・・。そんな­気がしました。途中のところは走っていると言うか・・・・。そん­な気がしました。

でも素晴らしい演奏だと思いましたよ！＾＾

Tämän sävelmän kun kuuntelee,tulee aina jotenkin mieleen Suomen kovat kokemukset silloin joskus.. kovia tää maa on kokenut,mutta pieni ja sisukas Suomi tulee jatkossakin nousemaan,jos tarve vaatii:)

Kiitos tästä.Hienosti soittavat.Ja hienoimpia suomalaisia klassisia sävelmiä saa etsiä:)

Thanks this video.

Dear FIVIF,

Thank you again for your comment.

I bet that you will have an opportunity to listen to an orchestra

like this one.

Even if you won't have a chance to enjoy the performance of this orchestra, don't be disappointed. There are over ten professional orchestras in Tokyo alone. They hold concerts all year round. Personally, I'd like to recommend the NHK Symphony Orchestra, since it's definitely the best orchestra in Japan.

[FlYlF]

Next year I will be able to visit Tokyo! I would be glad if there is an opportunity to listen to such a fine orchestra. Amazing!

[tomoyasuogata]

I'm glad to read that you will come to Japan again.

Though I'm not a member of this orchestra,

it consisted of members chosen from three orchestras:

Ichikawa Symphony Orchestra, Ichikawa Junior Symphony Orchestra,and

Ichikawa Symphony Wind Orchestra. Furthermore, Ichikawa and Gyotoku Mixed Choruses join them.

Ichikawa is a neighboring city of Tokyo, It's about twenty-minute train ride from JR Tokyo Station.

I sincerely hope you will have much better time in Japan this time!

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you so much for your comment.

I am very glad that you have many good

memories of Japan.

I sincerely hope you will come here again

in the not-too-distant-future.

[Bdcorpuschristi]

@tomoyasuogata I will return soon. Please, what is the name of your orchestra and chorus, and what city are you located?

[Bdcorpuschristi]

Oh! This is so beautiful. I am so moved by what you have done here. I wish to return to Japan someday. I was there so many years ago and have so many beautiful memories. I was only four years old.

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you very much for your comment.

Sibelius is much loved here in Japan, too.

Of course, I love his works.

[XenonThargoth]

THAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKS, from Finland! Amazing! I am so proud!

[tomoyasuogata]

Thank you so much for your comment.

Amateur as they are, their performance is highly esteemed.

[sismael]

Great performance.
