Sibelius - Symphony No 3 in C major, Op 52 - Salonen
https://youtu.be/_iPYeALbp50?si=UNFWNfPuH_HjYqrk

I love this piece so much, from the bass and cello quirky but energetic folk dance opening to the stirring chorale theme towards the end of the third and final movement.

It's often described as a piece in which Sibelius turned to classicism. I would prefer to describe it as a constrained romanticism, the very lack of grandiloquent bombast adding so much to the emotional power which comes to fruition as the symphony concludes.

For all sorts of reasons, some of them purely personal, I am attached to this particular performance.

I listen to this symphony frequently. Each time I do so I feel a new and better life surge up within me.

I can't guarantee it will have the same effect on you, but do give it a go. It's only about thirty minutes long, so even if it does little or nothing for you, you won't feel a huge chunk has been taken out of your time.

If, on the other hand, it does work for you, then time and time again over the rest of your life you will want to renew that half hour experience .

Tuba is such a fucking boss of the instrument world its the thing that kicks it up that notch, its like the viagra pill to the band. It just sounds amazing but it doesnt work alone, the bary sax, trombone, saxaphone, flute, clarinet, its all amazing and im proud to be in the band as its tubist.
