This movement begins with a fast melody in the strings, played tremolando. After this is developed, a swaying, triple-time motif begins in the horns, which is said to have been inspired by the sound of swan-calls, as well as a specific instance when the composer witnessed 16 of them taking flight at once. Over this, Sibelius has the flutes and strings play one of his most famous melodies. Both this and the motif are developed, until in the final section the motif returns majestically in the home key. The symphony ends with one of Sibelius's most original ideas — the six chords of the final cadence, each separated by silence.

  • Timeless performance:)

    

  • Wow!

    Listening to that main theme, it reminds me of the Great God Thor swinging his Mighty Hammer.

    Beautiful!

  • @Barbapippo è la stessa....

  • quoted from Wikipedia.... and the audio of the third movement is repeated twice!!!! this 3rd movement ends at 9:52 !!!!!

    3. Allegro molto - Misterioso - Un pochettino largamente - Largamente assai - Un pochettino stretto

  • Thank you for the detailed description. Wonderful. I came to your video after listening to a record I bought, Leif Segerstam conducts the Danish RSO, the 7th symphony is so wonderful. I will compare the "5" now, Celibidache was a great conductor, extravagant, but Klemperer (nick^^) was the same in that way. By the way, Klemperer had planned to record Sibelius 4 with 87, but it was too late. Would love to hear that, too. Thanks for Celibidache!

  • meraviglioso... ma non capisco, sono 2 esecuzioni diverse o è la stessa ripetuta?!
