The Spruce By Sibelius

Composer Jean Sibelius was inspired by Finnish forests and nature. On his travels abroad Sibelius carried with him a matchbox containing moss and needles of fir picked from the forest around his home, Ainola. The smell of moss helped him bring back to his mind the sounds and colours of Finnish nature. The short birthday video presents the beloved Sibelius piano piece The Spruce. Young pianist Matleena Nyman interprets it on Sibelius’s grand piano. The Ainola garden is blooming, the moss is green, apples ripen and snowflakes fall. The video seeks a new way of visualizing classical music.
