Excerpt: Jean Sibelius (·)) (8 December 1865 20 September 1957) was a Finnish composer of the later Romantic period whose music played an important role in the formation of the Finnish national identity. His mastery of the orchestra has been described as "prodigious". The core of Sibelius's oeuvre is his set of seven symphonies. Like Beethoven, Sibelius used each one to develop further his own personal compositional style. Unlike Beethoven who used the symphonies to make public statements, and who reserved his more intimate feelings for his smaller works, Sibelius released his personal feelings in the symphonies. These works continue to be performed frequently in the concert hall and are often recorded. In addition to the symphonies, Sibelius's best-known compositions include Finlandia, Valse triste, the violin concerto, the Karelia Suite and The Swan of Tuonela (one of the four movements of the Lemminkäinen Suite). Other works include pieces inspired by the Kalevala, over 100 songs for voice and piano, incidental music for 13 plays, the opera Jungfrun i tornet (The Maiden in the Tower), chamber music, piano music, 21 separate publications of choral music, and Masonic ritual music. Sibelius composed prolifically until the mid-1920s. However, soon after completing his Seventh Symphony (1924), the incidental music to The Tempest (1926), and the tone poem Tapiola (1926), he produced no large scale works for the remaining thirty years of his life. Although he is reputed to have stopped composing, he did attempt to continue writing, including abortive attempts to compose an eighth symphony. He wrote some Masonic music and re-edited some earlier works during this last period of his life, and retained an ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=49644 ... Read more

Excerpt: Viktoria Mullova (Russian: ) (born 27 November 1959) is a Russian violinist. She is best known for her performances and recordings of a number of violin concerti, compositions by J.S. Bach, and her innovative interpretations of popular and jazz compositions by Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, The Beatles, and others. Mullova was born in a Zhukovsky, near Moscow, in Soviet Russia. After studying at the Central Music School of Moscow and at the Moscow Conservatoire under Leonid Kogan, she won first prize at the 1980 International Jean Sibelius Violin Competition in Helsinki and the Gold Medal at the International Tchaikovsky Competition in 1982. During a tour of Finland in 1983, Mullova and her lover, Vakhtang Jordania who posed as her accompanist so they could defect together, left the hotel in Kuusamo, after Jordania told the KGB officer who was watching them that Mullova was too sick from drinking to attend the afterparty. The Stradivari violin owned by the Soviet Union was left behind on the hotel bed. An YLE journalist accompanied with a photographer drove them with a rented car across the border to Luleå Sweden, and they travelled further to Stockholm. In Sweden, they applied for political asylum. At that time, the Swedish police treated young, on-the-run musicians just like any other political defector and suggested they stay in a hotel over the weekend until the American embassy opened. So for two days they sat under false names in a hotel room, not even daring to go down to the reception deskwisely, as it turned out, becau... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=1296267 ... Read more

Excerpt:Andante Festivo is a single movement composition by Jean Sibelius , originally scored for string quartet in 1922. In 1938, the composer rescored the piece for string orchestra and timpani . Full-throated and hymnic, this piece of work is constructed as a smooth, continuous stream of similar melodic phrases that flow into and out of each other.A radio broadcast recording of this piece from January 1, 1939, with Sibelius conducting, is the only recorded example of the composer interpreting one of his own works.A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at En saga (English translation: A fairy tale or A saga ) is a tone poem written by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius in 1892. After hearing Sibelius' choral work Kullervo , the conductor Robert Kajanus encouraged Sibelius to compose a purely orchestral work, which turned out finally to be this work. The evolution of this work is somewhat ambiguous, except that in 1890-1891, Sibelius had commenced composition on an octet for strings, flute and clarinet. This work evolved into a septet by September 1892, and had acquired the title "Ballet Scene No. 2" by November of that year. However, a letter to Adolf Paul dated 10 December 1892 stated that Sibelius had finished "the o... ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : La symphonie nº 6 en ré mineur, op. 104, de Jean Sibelius a été esquissée en 1919 alors qu'il achevait la révision de sa Cinquième Symphonie, mais la symphonie ne fut terminée que quatre ans plus tard, la création intervenant le 19 février 1923. L'œuvre reste assez peu jouée de nos jours : les amateurs de couleurs violentes ou d'effets orchestraux étonnants ne peuvent, en effet, que s'en détourner. La Sixième Symphonie n'offre à l'auditeur qu'une (selon le mot du compositeur), avec ses nuances de demi-teintes, la clarté de ses polyphonies, la limpidité jaillissante de son chant. Les harmonies sont modales (recours au modes dorien et lydien, traités eux-mêmes parfois comme des tonalités), et nous rappellent l'admiration que le musicien finlandais vouait à Palestrina. L'ambiguïté tonale en découle aussi bien : le ré mineur se mue fréquemment en un si mineur qui joue un rôle essentiel dans le déroulement de la partition. Enfin, l'on ne sera pas dupe d'un calme, d'un diaphane qui ne sont que de surface : de puissants orages grondent mystérieusement et - oserait-on dire - paisiblement. Elle est en quatre mouvements : Composition : De 1919 à 1923Durée : 28 minutes environCréation : Helsinki, 19 février 1923 Deux flûtes, deux hautbois, trois clarinettes, deux bassons ; quatre cors, trois trompettes...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...
