Two Classical Symphonies

I also listened to some classical music, and the one i have enjoyed the most today is the Colour Symphony by Sir Arthur Bliss. This is the third movement, Blue.



I also listened to Sibelius Fifth Symphony, and another of my favouirte composers,so here is the third movement of that lovely symphony.



The Fifth Symphony was commissioned by the Finnish government to mark Sibelius's 50th birthday.
.
He wrote many pieces inspired by the Finnish national epic the Kalevala written in the 19th century from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology

Rnjoy.

I was fortunate enough to enjoy a concert of the Sibelius 5th at Finlandia Hall in Helsinki, 1988 I think it was. 26 years ago....
