Are you Finnish?.?.?.?
Slightly out of topic, but what do you Sibelius' orchestral music?

I'm going to listen to his second symphony tomorrow....I can't wait man..

[fnork]

Oh wow, small world, I just came home from this concert (unfortunately only hear the 2nd half) after spending time afterwards in a pub together with the pianist in question, who is a friend of mine, and other friends. It'll be up on the webpage again later on, I'll post a link once it's up.

Yeah, I'm Finnish.

To be honest he's not my favorite composer at all...never listen to his orchestral works voluntarily...

I wish I could have been there...The listening experience was pretty much ruined by the feed freezing all the time

But I'll listen again when the video is up, some new music for me as well.
