I've just been listening to Sibelius' Andante Festivo on Radio 3. Now, Sibelius is one of my favourite composers, and it is a gorgeous piece (and what a privillege to hear it conducted by the composer himself in a 1939 recording), but... if that's 'Festivo', I hate to hear what his Andante 'Lacrimoso' might sound like; suicide driving I would think.

It explains much about the Finnish temparament.

And now we have Symphony No. 5 to go to bed with. Which I love, love, love, love
