  • I performed this piece in an orchestra I used to play with, and I always found this piece to have a chilling ending. Beautiful work!

  • So much expression and sensitiveness, a wonderful relief to listen to this Valse Triste, congratulations to the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie and Paavo Järvi.

  • I'm playing this in a 5th grade viola exam soon.... Lol i suck at it but it's a really fun song to play

  • Great music and conductor !

    Thanks a lot

  • Bravo Paavo Järvi!

    

  • Fantastic... thanks Mr. Sibelius :-)

  • I am speechless ! and very jealous for those who could attend this concert. Can someone post Jarvi's Mahler No. 5.?

  • I think my favorite part of this performance is when the orchestra is finished playing the piece and Järvi looks like he's going to cry, and holds back the audience's applause for a good 13 seconds. I don't know how they possibly could have clapped before then. The man has such control over the room. Then he says 'I'm proud' to the concertmaster once the audience starts applauding. Touching.

  • This waltz makes me sad =(

  • MAHTAVA!

  • Just heard Paavo lead the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra in his last performance as their Music Director. Mahler 5 and then the encore was Sibelius' Valse Triste. BEAUTIFUL!!! Paavo we were blessed to have you for ten years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the music. You will be missed!!

  • @poohdacitta69 I was there at that concert too. It was so beautiful and amazing. I'm so sad to see Paavo leave, but it was amazing watching him.

  • Bravo Paavo!

  • Welcome to Finland. Enjoy your stay. Unless you try to acquire us by force. You have to be a borg for that even then it's a maybe.. ;)

  • go finland go!!!finland almost win war against russia.and didn't take much casualties.russian lost half million soldiers,finland less that 60 000

  • This is such a beautiful music! People must understand something: If you don't understand something or you dislike something, that doesn't mean it is a bad thing!!!

  • Realmente es una melodía sugerente y triste, mas. creo que es más bien melancólica,...Hermosísimo!!!!

    ... about your question .. i really dont know... about Danny ,... maybe, it is possible :)) ... rolling stone never... etc. ;)

  • Dr Jekill and Mr Hide do really exist !

  • The conductor looks like Putin's twin brother, lol...

  • I love the understated conducting.

  • heard this at the royal albert last night, done by them; tis brilliant, moving.

  • Maybe I'm ignorant because I wasn't there, but why are some (2?) of the women in blue, whereas most of them are in black?

  • Death Takes a Holiday...Listening to Sibelius...One can understand why...

    Sublime!

  • 3:46 :)

  • This is one of those tunes - unforgettable. I remember the first time I heard it in 1962.

    This is one of the best performances I've heard and I've heard dozens.

  • One of my most beloved Sibelius pieces over a thousand years....

    Thank You.

  • Incredibile good ans touching!

  • Obra Maravillosa, me fascina.

  • amazing!!! awesome!!!

  • I ♥ Sibelius!

  • Completely inspired.

  • YesI agree it should have been slower.There wasn't enough of the climax. I didn't have enough time to get my teeth into it!

  • Thank you. It's beautiful.

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

  • Un grand inspir, et la musique souffle comme par magie!

    Quel tempo de folie, tout en énergie sous la lenteur, c'est ça le bonheur de l'inter prétation!

  • and today i saw this again..for the 50th time..oh so nice.

  • It's his favourite hobby after fighting with tigers and riding a horse shirtless.

  • listen to the (slower) interpretation of Kenneth Schermerhorn - performing with Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra .

  • Excellent interpretation! Great musicality and beautiful string sound!

  • Sibelius and his melanchony music. Great and relaxing music.

  • J'adore ce morceau...très émouvant!!

  • Es increible cómo describe la tristeza de la situación en que se basa. Obra maestra !

  • im norwegian...and i love FINLANDS pride...Jean Sibelius.

    Be proud finland.:)

  • @xxxxbaardxxxx they also have nokia...heheh

  • fantastic. this is conducted really well great expressivity

  • I love this kind of music! Very relaxing indeed. I haven't even heard of Jean Sibilius but now I really know what type of music he delivers. This is the type of music you can listen to in order to find some harmony in life.

    I truly admire Jean Sibilius now.

  • LOL!

  • wow, I've been listening to this for years, and only knew it as the theme song to the old adventure show "I love a Mystery".

    Wikipedia is an amazing thing.

  • wow 91.958 views! i didn't knew that before.... they practice at our school

  • Sadly nostalgic as the title would suggest.

    I have always viewed this beautiful minature as a type of valediction to a lost Viennese world.

  • I never knew A Vladimir could bust a Violin up youre arsche.

  • heehehheehhe

  • I find the tempo fits to a dance.

    It's faster than usual, but not too fast.

  • Actually Valse triste was meant to be dance music. It was composed for Arvid Järnefet´s drama "Death". In the play Death cames for an old lady, and they dance before the lady eventually dies.

  • So poetic, so beautiful.

  • So beautiful... and so good memories...

  • oggi in europa ci sono solo jarvi e dudamel, il resto sono normali.

  • hai dimenticato rattle e abbado

  • wunderschön!

  • A que viene ese comentario???.............no tiene nada que ver una pieza con otra...se podria decir q cualquier obra de Mozart super con creces la suite de Jazz...mal comentario,esta interpretacion es suprema,bravo por Paavo

  • a little bit fast...

  • This is one of my favority music. Wonderful. But, yeh, the one who cofs is very anoying.

  • the waltz tempo should have been slowler...

  • I believe the tempo should have been slower...

  • Que hermosa interpretación. que buen director; cuanto sentimiento.

  • SImplemente hermoso!

  • Quien sera el q tose? provoca patearle la cara =S

  • The did this encore on their recent US tour. Paavo Jarvi and this orchestra communicate so well with each other. I have never seen a conductor/orchestra relationship that is so close.

  • Karajan's Valse was superb, but this is in another realm.

    I agree with erojas19: Amazing!

  • Great!

  • we had played in school orchestra 2 years ago. great a music. I was very touched when I first played.

  • Järvi näyttää Putinilta, mutta taidokkaasti samalla!

  • Is there a Kachaturian mazurka conducted by Berlusconi ?

  • Maestro! I love You !

  • These small pieces of Sibelius are just as expressive as his larger works. Check on "Koivu" for example. I enjoyed this greatly!!

  • I first heard this piece in an episode of the TV show "Dark Angel" with Jessica Alba.

  • i enjoyed this but jean sibelius is my great great great uncle my grandfather told me about this and i decided to look into it

  • Amazing...

  • I don't like this orchestra,Karajan is much expressive

  • I agree with you!!!By Karayan I feel the tragedy and bitterness...like a bitter smile.

  • Please, listen both of them. Its not fair to say that. Jarvi just lead the orchestra so well. Its amazing.

  • is this putin ?

  • First Vladimir Putin tackles a bear and now he conducts a beautiful Waltz.

  • lol

  • Bella esecuzione, una delle migliori che abbia

    sentito!

    Good execution, one of the best that has felt!

  • i like this piece a lot.

    and i fall in love with the conductor..

    The best: 1:48-1:53 and 4:58-5:11. Absolutely great.

    El maestro lo vive. Por eso es tan genial.

  • Masterfully done, the conductor reminds me of Putin. His expressions are wonderful. Adds so much to the performance! The Sibelius piece is hauntingly beautiful. Captures the essence of the Kaleva and the Finnish wilderness of an earlier era.

  • I just cant believe this!!! Amazing, BRAVO. Thank you so much for posting this.

  • WOOOOOW!!! Is amazing the way this orchestra performance this piece!!! They make it more beautiful than it already is

  • suomalaista nerokkuutta

  • So beautiful, big thanks to Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie!

  • lol

  • I am in love with this piece.

  • masterpiece

  • bellissima!

    great sound, absolutely

    like it

  • trudith : I note your sensibility for music. May I suggest to you to listen to (on You Tube, without brackets) :[LARGO from Opera Xerxes - G.F. Handel ORGAN Solo} ?

  • The conductor looks like Vladimir Puitin.. but great music

  • ja, I wish Putin could conduct not only Russian politics but even an orcestra of fine musicans.

    Wonder why no conducters not are like G W Bush. I rather listen to a Putin walz than a Bush polka.

  • onda d'urto!!!!

  • cuando la orquesta se vuelve un instrumento.... genial interpretacion!

  • Valse Triste = Sad Waltz

    Doesn't seem it to me.

  • I first heard this in an old movie called 'Death Takes a Holiday'. A truly haunting piece of music and an excellent performance.

  • J'ai des frissonsquand j'écoute cette musique. Tellement beau, mais si triste à la fois....

  • Je partage ce commentaire. Je ne connait aucune autre musique qui donne une pareille sensation de la mort. Ma pauvre maman , morte à 102 ans, frédonnait ce motif s'il y avait une dispute avec moi et du coup je me sentait terriblement coupable.

  • +1 a vous 2, une vraie pureté dans cette musique, un chef d'oeuvre.

  • Ma version italienne de Wikipedia note que pour certains de ses collegues sa musique n'était pas "assez complexe"!!. Mais cela est justement le secret de l'ensorcellement, du rêve transmis par son oeuvre :aucune autre donne un sens pareil, le frisson, la mélancolie d'une mort imminente.

  • Valse Triste is a sad valse that Jean Sibelius composed in 1904 for a drama of "Kuolema" "Death". Sibelius sold this work at a cheap price and never thought that this would be a hit soon. His small pieces are in my opinion the most beautiful; f.e. Romance, Berceuse, Impromptu, Rondino, Humoresque...

  • Would be a HIT Soon?

    Britnelys or Justin Timberlakes music is a HIT .

    This here is the sound of God thats played by humans. Thou I know you did not meant it the bad way :-)

  • I can't stop listening to it. When the woodwinds come in my heart stirs.

  • c'est une musique qui touche le coeur , toujours .

  • I love the conductors expressions. Really outstanding job by the orchestera.

  • MAGIQUE! frissonnant, superbe, exceptionnel.

  • Fantastic! And so sad...

  • Fantastic! And so sad...

  • The orchestra I'm in played this yesterday in concert. I think we did well but, this version here just kicks ass!

  • I love Sibelius! We did Finlandia for my school orchestra this year, and I fell in love with it.

  • Paavo Jarvi captures magnificently the pathos, lyricism, joy, passion ...the tempi are perfect - the orchestral balance and the phrasing - I just cry every time. I've heard other versions and I am not moved. BRAVISSIMO

  • magnifique, un monument de la musique classique.

  • Exquisite!!!!

  • Gorgeous, poignant. Thanks.

  • I love this piece!

  • Valse triste on kyllä yksi Sibeliuksen parhaista. Sanoin kuvaamattoman kaunis.

  • Such powerful music...I love valse triste. Sibeliu is a genius! This was a very good performance Bravo!

  • This is my all-time Classical favorite piece. It has quietude, sadness, elation, exuberance and power. The end is wistfully like its beginning. I have always loved the whole thing.

  • wv7351, you said it all! Its the most beautiful piece of classical music

    composed in 20th century.

  • This is about a man at his dying mother's side. She wakes and mometarily comes to life for one last walze of life before dying. That's what my mother, Eira told me.

  • It is so beautiful.

  • Thank you for loading this.This is made for Jean Sibelius`s child,who passed away soon after birth.

  • super. we going to play this is an new years a concert.

  • I am fascinated by this waltz !

    Excellent music! Sad! Magic music. It is a lot of nostalgias about lost
