1st mvt: 0:05
2nd mvt: 6:55
3rd mvt: 12:50
Mendelssohn was in his 20's when he wrote this, right? I consider that impressive. When I was in my early 20's I was playing video games and getting high. The man was a genius!
This concerto is beautiful. Don't care if it isn't as difficult as Liszt's work or if the pianist performed Rachmaninoff's no. 3 at the bar after the concert, for kicks.
I am grateful. That is enough for me.
Mendelssohn was 13 when he wrote this.
still very difficult honestly
It was written in 1830/31, so he was 21/22.
It's pieces like this that make Mendelssohn one of my favorite composers.
I agree!
I can just imagine the audience freaking out on hearing the statement from the first movement in the 3rd mvmt when this piece was first premiered
Even though this might not be the most difficult concerto ever, the craftsmanship by Mendelssohn is incredible. I was lucky enough to perform this.
absolute not most difficult , liszt and busoni concerto more difficult than this
為元張 stfu
Did anyone actually read what Pauline Contreras wrote? This might NOT be the most difficult concerto. Key word is NOT.
Yeah, the comment was on the fact that it's a great composition, regardless of the difficulty.
I mean, if difficulty was the most important factor, Liszt would be the greatest composer ever. Which he's not.
That ENERGY! Hamelin always delivers
That second theme has to be one of the most beautiful and lyrical melodies out there! So serene and calming to me. I could just listen to it over and over!
classicalbevo The theme was stolen by the "composer" of the pop song "The Rose" who gave Mendellsohn no credit at all.
Geoff Andrews CORRECT. I was looking for this exact comment. But you shouldn't use the word, "composer" for whomever the plagiarist is.
this concert never ceases to amaze me every time i hear it
absolutely mindblowing
My favorite performance of this concerto!
Kristian Oma Rønnes listen to Serkin's one recorded around 1980-85 !!! A jewel !!!! in my humble opinion...
I love Marc-Andre' Hamelin's playing the piano concertos I have heard, and especially this one. It has a quality which seems lyrical at times which has caused me to listen to it three times today. Magnificent fingering on the runs.
16:10~16:33 wonderful piano solo 16:34~16:49 conversation between piano and orchestra 18:21~18:49 and the soft ending!!! i love the last part of this music.
This concerto is played so well it's amazing!
Much of the third movement's material is really quite cleverly derived from that of the first's; developed and echoed in creative ways. This is an impressive composition from Mendelssohn, regardless of deficiencies in form - Mendelssohn was a brilliant technical innovator.
I loved it. For all who can perform this as good, I say bravo. For all of us left, it is to treat our bodies to the glorious music he plays.
The best piano concerto ever!
No, no it's not. Lo!
Truly the best performance of the piece I've ever heard.. Hamelin is just incredible
Hamelin IS a cyborg The human machine! The Best Mendelssohn piano concerto no 1 is Dimitri Bashkirov With The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra video RUclips! Bashkirov The Best piano sound! The melodies Are rolling! The greatest pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein ( The God) Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan The Giant of The piano) Emil Gilels ( The King) Wilhelm Kempff Maurizio Pollini Sviatoslav Richter Vladimir Ashkenazy Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Prokoviev piano concerto no 1) Stanislav Igolinsky ( better than Lipatti) Solomon Cutner Maria Grinberg Natalia Trull Rosa Tamarkina Ekaterina Novitskaya Dimitri Bashkirov ( Mendelssohn piano concerto! ) Andrei Gavrilov ( Bach Piano concerto 1052)
the genius of Felix and the mastery of Marc-Andre= perfect cocktail!
What a great piece. The adagio really reminds me of his Organ Sonatas
h bell Most people here don't even know Mendelssohn wrote all of those organ masterpieces. so thank you. :)
The parts at 3:05 and 3:38 REALLY remind me of Scott Joplin (the first one, specifically, like the opening to "Sugar Cane"), so I now know what Mr. Joplin must have been studying at the time!
For me is this concerto one of the best from this period.Brilliant played by Hamelin with feeling and strength.I love the third movement ,it is like a musical explosition .Orch. Is splendid ,who is the conductor ? Thank You sooooo much for uploading it.
I'm glad you liked it! Another thing you'll like will come soon ;)
Nearly at 4000. I have to admit, I *almost* went to a Bugs Bunny cartoon of the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 and came here instead, and now I'm looking for a recording of this piece (studio version, Hamelin). Glad I came here!
I never heard this before. It's lovely,
I don't why people use lovely and beautiful so much with classical music. I find it more intense than rock and roll!!!!!!!
Anthony Walter very good point, me too!
I played either first or second violin (I forget which) for this piece in Newark Symphony Orchestra 1983 to 1984.
What a masterpiece!
He did say this about the Waldstein ("it has been played to death", he argued), however he told me in person that he didn't know Rachmaninoff's 1st Sonata very much, had heard it only 1-2 times - so, let's hope. ;) But he has never played Sibelius, for instance.
The real shame? Only 100,000+ views compared to the crap today with 800,000,000 views. This is incredible.
glevito what has 800,000,000 views?
glevito ONLY TOO TRUE, UNFORTUNATELY!!! THE REAL "DUMBING DOWN" OF AMERICA AND THIS CRAPOLA WORLD WE LIVE IN TODAY, COMPOSED MAINLY OF HUMAN IDIOTS!!! CLASSICAL MUSIC R!U!L!E!S!!! I SHOULD KNOW, I HAVE A F$$KING MASTERS DEGREE IN PIANO, HARP, VOICE, AND COMPOSITION FROM MSM, YET I AM HOMELESS! GO F$$KING FIGURE! I HATE THESE PHILISTINES!!! ALL OF THEM!
glevito I'd choose to be happy with this. Let's say we are a special ~0.000125% of the RUclips population.
Webster Giles Smith You're right about the human idiots. They're everywhere.
+pangpengmaster agreed!!!! hallelujah
One of my favorites!
Мендельсон - Бартольди Феликс (1809 - 1847) - выдающийся немецкий композитор, пианист, дирижер, педагог. С 9 лет выступал на концертной эстраде как пианист. К этому же времени относятся его первые сочинения. В 17 лет композитор создал одно из своих лучших произведений - увертюру к комедии Шекспира «Сон в летнюю ночь». В тот же период появилось большое количество других произведений - квартеты, симфонии, фортепианных пьесы. Особое место в наследии композитора занимает цикл фортепианных миниатюр «Песни без слов» - своего рода «инструментальные романсы».
Мендельсон - автор более 20 камерно - инструментальных ансамблей, около 60 вокальных ансамблей, пьес для разных инструментов, свыше 80 песен для голоса с фортепиано, хоров и т. п.
В историю немецкой музыки Мендельсон вошел как основатель первой в Германии консерватории (Лейпциг, 1843 г.), много лет он руководил симфоническими концертами Гевандхауза в Лейпциге, неоднократно выступал как дирижер во многих странах Европы.
Для творчества Мендельсона характерно гармоничное сочетание романтических черт с традициями классики. Обязательная мелодичность, лиризм, совершенство формы неизменно привлекают к его творчеству симпатии многочисленных слушателей.

super !!! entre chaque note au piano ... une respiration formidable
Astounding playing. This really makes me want to learn this.
He is a wonderful pianist. Everything I have heard he has played can be described except in superlatives.
I'm afraid you won't find a better quality recording than this one. This was a live radio broadcast, which I myself have in .mp3 only.
Unfortunately he has not recorded this piece on CD. This live recording is splendid, anyway - my pleasure to welcome you here! :)
Forgotten how much I love this.
THIS GIVES ME LIFE!
If I hadnt known this to be Mendelssohn and if parts of it were played to me in isolation I would have bet my life its Beethoven. The similarities in style, compositional technique and soundscape is uncanny.
I really like how he plays from 5:09 especially at 5:11. This part absolutely makes me tear up.
18:02 *grooves to music*
18:35 *serious head-banging*
If I played this piece, this would be the first piece I played by Mendelssohn. Literally.
This is absolutely incredible. Genius. Thank-you so much for sharing this.
Wow, I'm glad to watch him performing this concerto, curiously I was looking for some great live performance of it, and now I found!
You tube is marvellous.
i have loads of spare time and enjoy listening and posting and debunking and being controversial.
I also come across gems like this.
i did skim thru a bit to the last movement Especially the start of the 2nd theme.
Marvellous.
Creation of the piece inexplicable
Execution pretty good.
Thanks a lot for posting.
Outstanding play.
Looking forward to this being played this Sunday at St Mary's!
Omg, how the bass suddenly comes through on the final sixteenth's all nice and moist and little heavy is soooo cool at 18:12'ish. (I think some orchestra doublings are happening there too) Does anyone else notice this? Such a great performance choice......
Awesome roller coaster.
This is an amazing performance! I think this is the concerto I'm going to learn this year.
The closest version to what Mendelssohn Intended, this is the best recorded version so far.
***** Well, it gets to a point where you're arguing semantics and I don't know why people do that. :/
Or maybe you could use his argument and say ' i know this isnt what the composer intended because the chances of modern day orchestras getting it exactly right are so small they are neglible.'
Just having some gits and shiggles
Yep, Mr. Joplin definitely knew/studied this. Compare the ascending octave figure at 18:28 with the opening vamp to "The Ragtime Dance" (song version)
such fun to follow along if you can read music--and I do! its another language that opens another world. play the piano!
Exquisite performance, masterful dynamic control and tonal colour with dazzling virtuosity!! Bravissimo!!
Its brilliant. Nothing more to say...
Q música más bestial,,,,,,,,,,, muy bonito escuchar al amanecer
Great performance. I believe Mendelssohn was quite young when he wrote this beautiful concerto, didn't live very long though.
Packed a lot into his short life.
David Burnett: Yes, Mendelssohn was about 21 when he composed this concerto.
Thanks, are you related?
+David Burnett lol ?
You know what I've noticed...people who have played things way more difficult than this tend to express certain things better because they don't have to worry about the difficulty of the piece like in Hamelin's case.
Thank you so much for confirming this; I spent 20 minutes searching the web and lists of his recordings for a studio recording. If he's so prolific, it makes perfect sense to me that he doesn't have time to do studio recordings. Is this live recording available anywhere? (I'd prefer a non-compressed version.)
Thanks for that piece, a beautiful number to savor for after dinner coffee!
Incredible, , is he really a human …⁇??
Definitely the guinness record the dexterity and the velocity of 14:20- is.
what happened from 5:25- 5:33? It sounds like he puts in rests when there's none on the score
Just saw this performed april 1st by Lindsey Garritson. She is truly a remarkable pianist!
6:55 play this intro in my wedding march of the munchkins... when i have them coming in before the actual ceremony... ya'know don't judge.
Does anyone else think that the first movement is MUCH, MUCH too fast here? It's practically being played at a presto.
I have performed this movement slower. I think if played too fast it looses some lyric s quality
This concerto is interesting,written with great care, but I find it a bit superficial when compared to the other symphonic works of Mendelssohn.
+madlovba3 Love your vid, where did you get this sheet music?
I feel like I'm being tickled to death in the last movement.
1:17 sounds like Mazeppa
Excellent!
This is unmistakable as being Mendelssohn...and I like Concerto No. 2 even better...and they're wonderfully orchestrated as well. It's a pity that these works (esp #2) are not often played by the great pianists (Hamelin excepted)
I heard somewhere that Liszt played it so much that the piano broke. LOL
Music Man yes it is played very often by great pianists.
Bang Bang, 78K views. This: 332. There is no justice.
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AMAZING!!! OMG!
A dance between the orchestra and the piano
Everything? Not yet, but he's apparently working on it ;)
Yes, he is married (this is his second marriage, actually) but he doesn't have any children...
Awesome.
There is a song called "The Rose" which the composer claims to have written the music to. Its an exact copy of the second movement. No credit given to Mendellsohn at all.
Geoff Andrews If by exact copy of the second movement, you mean 8 notes. It was probably unintentional or subconscious. It's not like she pulled an "All By Myself."
It is to similar to be coincidence. The best that can be said of her is that she had a "George Harrison" moment and forgot she had heard it before.
So, unintentional or subconscious....
Id like to give her the benifit of the doubt but on the whole I think she plaigerised it.
Geoff Andrews
can you provide a reference? or maybe a link to the song you mentioned?
thanks.
Awesome, though seems like the dude made a mistake at 18:32.
6‘22, da DOC random improv?
Very daring finale
Why must Hamelin be this awesome? o_o And why has he not recorded Liszt's transcendental etudes?
Bravo!!
WOW.
from 0:05 to 0:12 what's the name of that progression?
the name of that armony. like crescendo and something? inst it?
There is a Crescendo (getting louder) but the progression is CHROMATIC. You can play a Chromatic scale by playing every single note on the piano in succession. There are also diatonic harmonies...
It's a series of V-I cadences, or you can call it a sequence by fourths for the most part. There are other elements in it, though, such as the use of the augmented 6th chord by the end of the sequence to reach the dominant. There isn't any name for it, not that I know of, at least.
lo manus Satanic Satan
One explosion of a coda at 17:33
Would this be considered grade 10 or ARCT?
+Tal Dobrer This is not a very difficult piece.It was written for a young pianist and performed in a charity event.Nonetheless it is a beautiful concerto.
WOW!❤
brilliant
At 2:09 onwards does anybody else hear raindrop prelude?
Kratos safado LOLOLOLOL
AlchemyAtLarge I do.
Hamelin actually sounds like a serious pianist instead of a typewriter here
Novell A Dumb comment. If anything, it's this piece where he sounds more exact and typewriter-ish than anything else. And that's a good thing.
Novell A And what an idiot you must be to dub him a non serious pianist. It says a lot about you.
Don't say something stupid if you don't want to back it up then.
bravo!!!
13.44 Hamelin is speeding up the game here 😉
I think he once said he would never play Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata or Rachmaninov's first sonata.
bravo!
Beethoven clearly inspired Mendelssohn at the last movement !
Who is conductor?
Michael Tilson Thomas
나도 옛날에 이곡을 쳤는데 저도 오케스트라 많이한 피아니스트 에요
Watching this sheet makes me think that this piece is not as hard as it seems.......just a bit tiring
well it is hard as it looks, double3rd trills (if you play piano, you should know the difficulty), long scales that needs to at absolute perfection and etc. IT SHOULD SEEM HARD
Shawn Chang Definitely, you need absolute rhythmic and notational precision in his concertos and that depends how mature your form and touch is.
This guy needs to learn what the "dot" means....
Shawn Chang Not Really....... For me it goes (in order of difficulty) : Bach Fugues, Mendelssohn Piano Concerto, then Chopin's "most cliche" Nocturnes.. ;)
haha, well, everyone has it's opinions.
Por qué les inventan Jamelin ? Solo Lizst. se inspiró en Hameliin.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11:36 - 12:50... Metaphysical
From a fellow virtuoso classical pianist, I believe you're correct. See all these videos of famous artists performing famous works of the great classical composers on one piano? I can perform them all on two grand pianos simultaneously instead of one (2/4 pedals to deal with as well). I would imagine if I play this on two grand pianos simultaneously it's relatively harder... check out my 'double-piano fugue' on my channel for an example. RUclips should rerecord all their piano vids with 2 ;)
perfecto......:)
I really liked how the music came with the sheet. But this piece sounds both fun and tiring. Well, all versions are different, after all...
Although Hamelin is an accomplished pianist, I far prefer Yuja Wang playing the Mendelssohn. She has better technique, she's cleaner, and more musical.
the recording quality is not the same u noob
Vette gaddia
