Sibelius: 1. Sinfonie ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Tarmo Peltokoski

Every time I come back to Sibelius I am happy to return. His music is scintillating and this performance is a delight. And always love this orchestra and its generosity is making full performances available on YouTube. Thanks everyone.

Definitely one of this planet’s premier orchestras, no question.

“Ach du lieber, mein schatz”!!!!! In ALL my 82 years of life here on earth, this is probably one of the greatest performances of one of the greatest symphonies I’ve ever heard, bar none! WOW! PASSION at its utmost!! The soloists were fantastically fine & precise!! It’s a wonderful thing to see the musicians “animated”, full of the passion of the music!!! The cameraman did a pretty fine job of highlighting the soloists as they played. Fine young conductor too! Wish though the cameraman would have “highlighted” the tuba player more! What wonderful “body” he added to the tremendous music! GREAT GREAT GREAT performance of a FANTASTIC SYMPHONY! “Viva la Jean Sibelius & Finland”!!!

A wonderfully "revealing" reading. The up tempo takes off the drab blanket so many traditionalists lay over this piece. I've listened to it hundreds of times and never thought until this hearing, "What an odd, but beautiful statement this piece is."

How can one NOT love Sibelius' genius? Especially his symphonies, so lush, so carefully orchestrated. Much love from Kansas City! ❤

Another great performance by the Frankfurt Radio Symphony orchestra. under the baton of Tarmo Peltokoski (who is as dynamic as they come). I've always loved the music of Sibelius and this is no exception.

What a passionate performance, excellent! And this young conductor Peltokoski ... amazing talent. Keep your ears open for him in the future!

I'd forgotten how much I love this glorious symphony! What a crack ensemble ... instant subscibe. Bravo! And whew here is a conductor for the new generation blessed with so many fabulous young musicians!! Wonderful. Thank you!

What a great performance . wonderfull orchestra ! Bravissimo for the conductor !!

The wind section did such an excellent job, I especially love the flute sections of the piece, which I see as an absolute highlight in the piece. Clarinet was likewise amazing. Great performance.

This, Three, and Six have long been my favorite Sibelius symphonies, and easily among my favorite all time symphonic pieces. This is a stunning, fresh performance. I love the Frankfurt Radio channel! Thank you for so much great music...

Splendid this performance! I can't imagine.I love pace and tension of the 4th movement.

A fantastic performance. This is one of the best renditions of the scherzo I have ever heard. So clean. And I loved that stretched transition into the trio.

That is the best case made for this symphony that I have heard in a very long time. And the orchestra members seemed quite happy afterwards - always a good sign. Thank you.

Exzellent, Tarmo ist ein super Dirigent, schade dass es zu wenig zu sehen ist... tolle Version, Glückwunsch an alle! :)

the best performance of this piece available on youtube
