Sibelius' 5th Symphony

Sibelius is like a soul-mate to me. His music achieves everything I want to do with my experimental videos. Having listened to his 5th Symphony for the first time a few moments ago, I am speechless. The always elusive "question of form" has found its match. The sheer sound of the orhestral writing so shocking, you'll think it's the first time you've ever heard an orchestra in your life. And then there's that ending, so strange, so unexpected, so inescapable...Apparently before he finished the work, Sibelius wrote to his friend: "God is opening his doors for a moment, and his orchestra is playing the fifth symphony."
