Give them a break. This is a youth orchestra, crowded into a tight space, with miserable acoustic conditions and less than professional recording techniques. They're playing a devilishly difficult work.. It's unrealistic to expect a performance to rival Sakari Oramo and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.
It is very sad when violence comes to picture. There were times not so long ago, when swedish speakers gangs took to streets of Helsinki to beat finnish speaking "lower race". Finns still remember that and how they were treated over the centuries. It still feels that swedishness is considered better than finnishness and the swedish language is still being forced upon the majority.
It's what orchestras playing this commonly do, they play this in too much of a hurry, missing the whole point of it.. I have one version of this, I have no idea who was responsible for it, but it makes me cry every time I hear it, i have to turn it off if I'm in public.. This song should be taken very slowly and easily, that's what makes it awesome..
I am related to jean sibelius he is my great great great uncle my grandfather told me about him so i decided to look into it and I thought it was interesting.
Why did the cymbals get their own microphone? Really, adjust mike position to favor strings, and be able to change volume on winds and brass. That's not so easy in a live setting, but you could drop a mike from above, put one in the stage flowers, maybe.
Good orchestra! I would try for more legato line, elision some.

Whoa... Percussion abit too loud!
Especially cymbal and timpani...
Timpani should have more dynamic variations...
Trumpets could use abit more work...
Beautiful woodwinds!!!
The strings did well too, although there were some parts where it was abit out of tune...
Overall, a GOOD performance...
BRAVO!!

Esta obertura también la tocamos aquí con la Sinfónica juvenil de Perú. Es una hermosa obra ¿no?
Obviamente aun hay cosas por pulir (así como nosotros) pero van bien, sigan así!

Those children in the audience need to hush!!!!!! And that cymbal player needs to go and stand outside and play.

I know why there are risers/steps for the winds, but not having them does change the sound, and it tempts me.

Aside from the tuning issues, style and ensemble playing show careful rehearsal, good for such young players!
