Sibelius : Symphony 5 (Full) - Karajan

Youtube deleted the DGG recording, so, here is the 1977 EMI recording......Karajan's last recording of this fifth.

I had this recording on an LP which I damaged many years ago and could not find another copy to replace it. It's such a fine performance! I'm glad to find here so I can enjoy it again.

Want to share a quote from Sibelius I was just reminded of. When asked about his inspiration for the was like God threw down these broken pieces for me to make whole again...
He took his job very seriously to the delight of the world!

[cacciato]

The horns, the horns 3rd movement the intervals the key change early 60's played horn in the band
omg my soul soars with those intervals. Still after all these years it sings my song!!!

I get goosebumps only by thinking about this symphony

[Alonoda]

Honestly, I cannot stop listening to this symphony. Magnificent

[mackjay]

Astonishing performance. I remember when it was released and was largely ignored. Now it's getting the recognition it deserves. I've never heard a more powerful ending to the First Movement.

It must be 55 years ago I first heard Sibelius' 5th and 2nd symphonies on a borrowed long playing record from my local library. I fell in love with his music the instant I heard these two pieces. I still get goose bumps.

I've just been reading a book about 20th century classical music. Apparently, all of the leading 'modern' composers hated Sibelius' music - because it was popular with audiences. Yeah - that's a real crime.

Teaming this great piece with artwork of birds was really beautiful ♥️

I love listening to this symphony while contemplating the pond outside my house.

[aliso-pvll]

Nobody loved Sibelius' symphonies, except for the public!

[shin-i-chikozima]

This will quench the dryness of the soul, and evoke comfortable feelings and a peace of mind

[brunodelconte]

This symphony has such optimism in the face of finality. It's astonishing. I love it !

[seifbashandy]

Best recording for this piece on youtube.

[anandabraham]

I just first heard of sebelius this morning on gb news Michael portillo his parents and Julian Lloyd webber grand parents were fans of sebelius, it peaked by curiosity to check YouTube I am not disappointed ❤

8:55 is that moment when I've reached the top of the mountain, taken a deep breath and the sun begins its ascent over the horizon.

[mjrbruckner]

His love of nature sure was especial. The third movement, inspired by something so primal as swan-calls, displays unreachable emotional scope and vigorous inventiveness. Those six staggered chords at the end, an idea as original as it gets. Thanks, Jean.

[arontesfay]

Masterpiece. That's all I have to say.

[alexchristopher]

This has been my favorite recording of the 5th since 1977! No maestro captures the atmosphere of Sibelius' music better than Karajan.
