Mendelssohn from early age revealed his musical tendency. He was the son of a banker and had a very careful education, living in an intellectual environment with great effervescent. He is one of the initiators of the Romantic period, contributing in a relevant way to this musical evolution. His music is exuberant, although sometimes with calmer periods of extraordinary beauty. Mendelssohn was an outstanding and amazing composer, with great talent and sensitivity. His masterpieces contributed significantly to the future development of new musical forms. The orchestra and direction is flawless. Thanks for this wonderful recording and great pleasure moments and musical delight that provided.
Sadly he died young due to multiple strokes. So did his sister Fanny by the way, also a very gifted composer and musician (though at the time women weren't allowed to work professionally in that field). Imagine he had lived a long life, what he would have given to the world.
Yes!! I've heard somewhere that Dr. Felix was INDEED and ANGELIC being. He could be judgmental and acerbic when criticizing fellow conductors and or composers but the comments -- even though sounding exceptionally harsh-- were right on the money and conveyed facts that the colleague should have been more aware of himself!

A very believable performance of Mendlessohn 2 Lobgesang. Marcus Stenz is obviously in his element - absolutely comfortable in bringing the most out of his performers. Oh my, Marcus - you make it look so easy! I love his little "YES!" gesture at 58:59. This "reformed" symphony doesn't get the outings it deserves. Lovely, Lovely!
I love this early symphony. Mendelssohn has still not yet truly recovered from the bad press that was started about him via the third reich and the anti-semitism that flourished as a result of the Hitler regime. To me, he is one of the very finest of composers. He lived at a very awkward period for composers; he stood in the immediate wake of Beethoven and Schubert. Being a composer myself, I could only imagine what it would be like to follow-up Ludwig van B. and or Franz Schubert. I would feel most unprepared and less-than in self-esteem and my morale would be at a low ebb, I would believe. But still, I point to the fact that not even Mozart did so much so early; for instance the 12 String Symphonies of the years following his 11th through 15 birthday, if memory serves, are a good example. Neither Mozart nor any other composer has done so much so early. I believe, as well, that they were not given for publication because Felix himself considered them as mere examples of compositional EXCERSIZES and not works for public enjoyment or perusal.
I think you are slightly confused... this is the 'Lobgesang' which was composed in 1840, not the 2nd String Symphony which was composed in 1821. This was his 2nd to last symphony he composed, the only later one is the Scottish symphony No.3, two years later in 1842. Nevertheless, he was a truly prolific and extraordinary composer at a very young age!
I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about how unfairly Mendelssohn was maligned, except for one thing - the smear campaign against him absolutely did not start with Hitler in the Third Reich, antisemitism in Germany was always horrible. In the vast majority of German states Jewish people weren't even second class citizens, they didn't have citizenship and the corresponding rights at all, and when their rights were expanded it promptly resulted violent antisemitic riots that spread all over German speaking cities in 1819. Wagner's "Judaism in Music" essay where he singled out Mendelssohn and Meyerbeer was published under Wagner's name in 1869, but he already had it printed under a pseudonym in 1850, a mere 3 years (!) after Mendelssohn's death, and to add insult to injury the newspaper that published it anonymously was printed in Leipzig, where Mendelssohn lived, worked and died, and at the time the newspaper's editor was a guy who taught at the Leipzig conservatory that MENDELSSOHN HIMSELF FOUNDED. That's what always gets me. When Mendelssohn died in 1847 he was celebrated as one of the most respected composers of his time, with seemingly no one having a bad word to say about him publicly, he may just have been *the* poster boy for Jewish assimilation - and yet, 3 years after his death... I guess there's a sad lesson in there somewhere about how you can try your hardest to fit in, and it'll still never be enough for the people who've already decided that you're different from them for some stupid, arbitrary, bigoted reason. Just grim stuff, really...
That is why I love Germany, which has produced the vast majority of composers such as Mendelssohn, Handel, Beethoven, Bach, Wagner, Weber, R. Strauss, Bruch, Humperdinck, Schumann, Brams, Offenbach, Gluck, etc. I must have forgotten a few.
@@nicosuarez6962 I wouldn't call Mahler an Austrian, since he was born in Bohemia to a Jewish family. But does it even matter? We can agree that he was a great composer who revolutionised Symphonic music and pushed it from the 19th century to the 20th
@ peter exner: This comment reeks of nationalism. Music is the international language, not a national language limited to any one country. One takes great risks when mentioning Wagner considering his beliefs on Hitler. I get your point about the many German composers. There are probably as many English composers who could be listed for performances of Anglican Cathedral Music or the British choral tradition. The spot of land on the planet that someone was born in seems irrelevant. It was purely coincidental since the composer had no choice in the matter. With all the things that make the finest musicians, the geographic location on the Earth that they were born or lived is really quite irrelevant. Again, it's ugly nationalism. Reminds me of the BBC when they have to say "the Irish pianist [name] will now play for us." What does Irish have to do with it? Just say, "pianist [name] will perform...."
Beautiful performance of this relatively long symphony with well-articulated sound of the entire orchestra and well-controlled voices of the chorus. The well-restrained voice of the tenor is also impressive.
Eric BUTRUILLE Unfortunately true. Her voice is neither well-controlled like the chorus nor well-restrained like the tenor. That's why I've never referred to her voice.
Es encantadora la textura popular de la voz de la primera soprano que canta; le da un interesante colorido a la interpretación. No se canta así de casualidad.
Thanks for uploading this remarkable choral symphony, so inspiring in its message and composition (Reformation themes). Well performed, and should be heard and performed more often throughout the world! Does anyone have a full video of the Madrid symphony version featuring Portuguese soprano Anna Quintans and Australian Steven - (forgot his last name)?
It seems that the trend in all the performances of this historic symphony around the bicentenary of Mendelssohn's birth [1809] have accelerated all his tempo markings and thereby detracted form the pathos of his melodic invention for the texts, as well as obscuring his melodic counterpoint. One cannot imagine what the hurry was about.
Colin Lang And yet, Mendelssohn himself was quoted by Berlioz, saying : "What's the use of a metronome ? A conductor who would not get the tempo directly from the music would be an ass !" ;)
+Colin Lang In itself a fine and beautifully realized rendition, yet I agree: in general a choice for too quick tempi. This here is not demanding a 'Midsummer Night's Dreams' -like 'allegro di molto'. First mov. should be 'maestuoso'. I wrote: choice, since (as you suggest) it concerns a deliberate choice by the conductor (not a bad one for that) not based on artistic intuïtion, yet on what has become fashionable. Actually one suggests this way the audience: we do it quickly, so you all can be home again in short time.
+Nanno Jonkers Yes! I have come to the conclusion that the conductor was limited as to the duration of time for the whole performance . It sounds now like the playing of a brass band in the park1
Colin> The nasty thing, I think is: people tend to have the idea that this mode of interpreting and conducting is needed to restore (over-romantic) interferences of the older generation of great conductors. Which is far from the truth, as you and I know. We still have some excellent conductors nowadays, yet the period of real big stars is over and some mediocre artists are marketed as stars (like our Dutch Jaap v. Zweden). I like your 'band in the park' image.
I just love this symphony. The first time I heard it I cried it is so beautiful. Lovely version as well. I studied music at University (Violin and voice at Cambridge) and then went into the 'City' to work in Senior level HR and with travel and family I somewhat left behind my music which I regret. I later returned to singing in a Cathedral choir and would dearly love to sing this in a glorious choir.
Up there with Beethoven's 5th and Schubert's 9th Symphony. Like the 5th it has a recurring theme, started in the first bar and still there at the end.I like this recording; the tenor and contralto? blend well together, neither dominating the other; cf Sir Mark Elder's live recording with the Halle Orchestra where the tenor's voice is weak compared to the contralto's almost Wagner like voice
26:34 "Lobe den Herrn, meine Soooooole"? You can even see the soprano's mouth shaping an O, taking some liberties with the "Seele." I think she pressured herself too much for loudness, at the expense of clear pronunciation - which you can see by her head shaking. Just like at 27:02 where she sings "ist" instead of "in" or at 27:05 where we hear "vergoose" instead of "vergiss".
The issue is that it's actually VERY difficult to sing the vocals E and I as high notes, which is why it's recommended to switch to different and easier vocals like A or O, so it won't damage your voice
Получил огромное удовольствие , слушая хор.. Особенно выделяются первый и второй женские голоса , да и мужской голос звучит прекрасно. В целом хор оставил сильное впечатление.

Of course it is natural to compare Classical and Romantic choral symphonies to Beethoven 9. Truth of the matter is that this holds its own and always has - probably because it is unashamedly Reformed Christian. Its a shame we hear it so rarely.
