Musicpro Guides: Sibelius 5 Intermediate Level - DVD

Sym 5 [DIGITAL VIDEO DISC] Released 2014 product/publication from C Major

Jan Sibelius 1865 - 1957. Sibelius was born in Finland. He learned to play the violin and after studying music for a while set out to be a composer. He developed a unique style and was steeped in the literature and natural beauty of his native land which inspired his music. These nordic roots have not stopped him becoming universally admired and his music is now a staple of modern concert halls. This film by Malcolm Hossick traces his life and his musical development. It is followed by an overview of his work.

Both Bruckner's belief in God, as it majestically wells up out of the chorale of the Fifth, and his deeply tragic world view, collide with one another in Barenboim's interpretation... without betraying Bruckner's unerring sense of striking proportions.
