Jean Sibelis, from Finland, was commissiond by his government to write this symphony for his 50th birthday (a national holiday in Finland). It is one of my favorite pieces.
This is my favorite movement, Sibelius, Symphony no. 5 in E flat major–composed in 1915.

Here is another version, conducted by Maestro Herbert Von Karajan, who led the Berlin Philharmonic for 35 years and is the top selling classical musician of all time–having sold upwards of 200 million records.

Magnificent accompaniments to relaxing porcelain movements.
The finest example of the high arts.
The discipline required, most of all, will be known by few.

Okay, we’ve got IRAN and the Arab world on DEFCON 3, and Israel looks like they are about to finally use their nukes.
Should prove to be a rough week.
Oh yeah, there is also that little European thing.
Back the the beautiful music, that only a full orchestra can deliver!

Nice pick. Seriously, thanks for opening my ears to this.
You, sir, are a man of honor.
For my fellow Vulgarians, a trip to Near Blue Heaven, a celebration.
Almost as good as a “beautiful classical.”

Your featured “blogger” posts links. There’s no commentary. It’s fucking boring. And anyway only a degenerate Brit would eat a pigeon; filthy animals.
I guess I can offer you my commentary (since Dr. is being nice this year):
GO SUCK ON THAT PIGEON, YOU FILTHY ANIMAL..
Now back to classical music….
Anyone who likes Sibelius might check out the music of Carl Nielson.

Natural gas is in the toilet again. Down nearly 4% against single digit NY temperatures. Short all over-leveraged gas related names, on the bond side, with reckless abandon.

“I have a dream… that one day people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the contents of their stock portfolio…. I have a dream today! That one day they will name a holiday after me, and white people and black people will not trade stocks on that day. Instead they will show up at blogs during working hours talking about Tebow, and that one day people will have extra levels of boredom, as if somehow those extra levels of boredom will cause white people to go out and talk to black people and join hands as friends today, instead of staring isolated in a cubicle… I have a dream today!!!!”
symphonic masterpiece
The house is all decorated and festive, the kids are snuggled up waiting to hear the speech ….. Great Moments In Black Hiisssstorrry !

the Karajan version is fantastic. I saw him twice in Spain. The second night was Debussy and Ravel performed under the stars in the Alhambra. It was magical and I will never forget it.
Huge Sibelius Fan, you like Brahms “German” Requiem?
