Jean Sibelius 150th Aniversary, Andante Festivo, Ostrobothian Chamber Or...



Andante Festivo is one of my favourite works by Sibelius.. I know, it is a little, short piece, but so beauty, nice. and lovely.  I used it, in a brass arrangement, at my wedding, at the beginning, for the incoming of the bride.
If you listen to the version conducted by Sibelius (the only audio document you can find of Sibelius as conductor), you will find that he choosed a very slow tempo, more similar to an adagio or largo than to an Andante.

Here you can find more complete info about this work.
