This is poorly written so I'm editing it. Sorry Jose:: Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is an outstanding composer of the Romantic Period. His symphonies are works of extraordinary sensitivity and strength. Here the first movement simply glows. The second is more reflective while the last two express his youthful exuberance. His orchestration is amazing. This is one of the best interpretations I've heard. All of his symphonies are monuments to Mendelssohn's musical talent.

Obrigado amigo, você é um amigo

I second that , maybe just maybe Wolfgang Amad.has a word to say Wolfgang Kreipe Sherwood Durban

@@kreipewolf8784 I don't think Mozart was as much advanced as Mendelssohn at the same age.

A real genius with all the maturity and naturallity in every aspect in this music... at that age!

What...?

So when Jarvi disapproves he smiles, is that right?

Not clapping between movements is just a modern convention. As well as performing an entire symphony and following the order of the movements

I laughed my ass off.

I smiled out loud.

曲藻優質，奧藏博大精深，欣喜悅懷，喜之懷思。

or any other age...ha

none whatsoever ... he was a prodigy, no question

We are playing this in a teenie orchestra xD

No One that I know of !!!!!

However Felix did not attend any Casting/ Talentshow and still he is the Boss.

A very beautiful experience. Paavo Jarvi is one of my very favorite conductors. Many thanks to all.

@@elizabethschaeffer9543 Paavo RULES;0)

I second that. The music of his youth is of a higher caliber than even that of Mozart, and certainly much more creative.

Kann man auch anders sehen. Tue ich auch. Hatte aber schon seine genialen Momente. Ganz entschieden.

Many muesste sagen einer der besten, es war das jahrhundert von Brahms und beethoven. Wolfgang kreipe Sherwood Durban

ikr

Magnifico*

ALBERTO AGUIAR DA CRUZ: APESAR DAS INFLUÊNCIAS DE MOZART E DE SCHUBERT NESTA SINFONIA, MENDELSSOHN JÁ DEMONSTRA O SEU GÊNIO PRECOCE, AFIRMANDO O SEU IDIOMA MUSICAL PARA CONQUISTAS MAIS AMBICIOSAS NO GÊNERO SINFONIA. NESTA OBRA JUVENIL, MENDELSSOHN MOSTRA-SE SURPREENDENTE E ARROJADO.

Hi, Arthur! Our concert took place in the basilica of Monastery Eberbach in Rheingau

Спаси бог за концерт! А монахов уже выгнали?

Roger, I agree that Raff wrote fine works and is much too neglected, although I can't say that I would prefer his to Mendelssohn's.

Try growing up in 19th Century Europe, at a time when Jews were being persecuted horribly.

Mendelssohn wasn’t Jewish. He was Lutheran, and quite devout. He was of partial Ashkenazic ancestry through his father. And I’m not sure what you’re talking about him being hung up about it? How so? Did you know Felix personally? lol

@@ytyt3922 First generation Lutheran. His parents were Jews who converted to the Lutheran faith......possibly out of necessity given the anti-Semitism of the day.

They weren't allowed to work in certain places due to them being Jewish.

Don´t worry man, enjoy the music only!!

Mendelssohn specifies "Allegro di Molto" for the first movement, which is a very brisk tempo. If you enjoy it at 0.75 speed, then by all means do so, but recognize that the composer intended it to be played faster.

My comment was directed at whether high speeds are always beneficial to a composition and I would argue that in most cases they are not. Also---Just to let you know, I don't doubt that Mendelssohn wanted this fast---But Mendelssohn was someone who like Mozart, hated speed for speeds sake. An Allegro from him/what those composers thought was fast was probably a lot slower than what we think of as "fast " today. But let's not also forget that Mendelssohn was young when he wrote this Symphony. There's good moments in it, but I think as a composer myself that Mendelssohn makes a mistake here by starting out right from the gate like the Symphony had already started 5 minutes ago---and a hyper fast tempo emphasizes that flaw in the piece.In the case of this symphony, slowing it down even more than that makes the intro a lot more effective, more Beethovenian/dramatic. But even with a slower tempo, there's no real intro to this 1st mvt. It just blares at you right off in a very immature way------(Again he was young, so he had a lot of youthful spirit, no doubt about his genius either) The point is----high speed tempo whether he wanted it or not IMO doesn't make THIS piece sound better. High speed purely for high speed sake is boring , and works a lot better as an effect, or maybe in a perpetuum mobile---but a whole movement of ultra fast tempo with no spaces or drama or dynamics wears the listener out. I have found with a lot of these hyper fast pieces,A slower tempo, even just 5-10% often makes the difference between a dramatic performance that speaks to people and one which just blows right past them . Just my opinion.

BTW---go listen to more of Mendelssohn's music and you'll see that along with Mozart, his pieces are often taken at hyper fast tempos which IMO, rob them of the power and depth the composers had put into them. Never forget: An "allegro" in Mozart's & Mendelssohn's time is not an Allegro of today.

No Mendelssohn is far more brilliant.

No Mendelssohn is far more brilliant. His music is super.

@@pavatbom5981 Indeed, even though mozart was indeed a sublime composer he is way too divinized.

@@agustinfodrini what are you talking about??? Mozart wrote his first symphony when he was 7. Mozart is extremely gifted and talented as well. More talented than Mendelssohn in my opinion. Plus Mendelssohn absolutely adored Mozart's music so idk what you are talking about.

@@marioneira777 quality not quantity. Anyone can write a symphony at 7, it's how good it is that matters. Not that Mozart's was bad but it wasnt anything original, which of course you would expect from a 7 year old. Even Mozart hadn't written anything as influential or creative by age 15
