The Best of Mendelssohn

- Опубликовано: 20 май 2013
- Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, born on February 3, 1809, in Hamburg, Germany, was a prodigious composer, pianist, and conductor of the Romantic era. Coming from a wealthy and culturally influential family, Mendelssohn was introduced to music at an early age and displayed exceptional talent. His grandfather, Moses Mendelssohn, was a renowned philosopher, while his father, Abraham, was a banker.
Recognizing his musical gifts, Mendelssohn's parents provided him with a comprehensive education in music, languages, literature, and the arts. He received piano lessons from his mother and studied composition under the tutelage of Carl Friedrich Zelter, a prominent musician and friend of the family. Mendelssohn's musical abilities flourished rapidly, and he began composing and performing publicly in his early teens.
In 1829, at the age of 20, Mendelssohn conducted a revival performance of Johann Sebastian Bach's "St. Matthew Passion," which had been largely forgotten at the time. This monumental event sparked a widespread revival of interest in Bach's music and firmly established Mendelssohn as a leading figure in the musical world.
Throughout his career, Mendelssohn composed a diverse range of works, including symphonies, concertos, chamber music, oratorios, and choral compositions. His compositions, often characterized by their lyrical melodies, rich harmonies, and expressive qualities, exemplified the Romantic spirit.
Mendelssohn's best-known works include his "Violin Concerto in E minor," the "Hebrides Overture" (also known as "Fingal's Cave"), and his "Italian Symphony." He also composed the incidental music for William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," which features the famous "Wedding March" that is still played at weddings to this day.
In addition to his compositional prowess, Mendelssohn was an accomplished conductor. He served as the music director of the Gewandhaus Orchestra in Leipzig, Germany, from 1835 until his death. Under his leadership, the orchestra achieved great acclaim and became one of the finest in Europe.
Tragically, Mendelssohn's life was cut short. He suffered from poor health throughout his later years and died at the age of 38 on November 4, 1847. Despite his relatively short life, Mendelssohn's contributions to music were immense. His compositions continue to captivate audiences with their beauty, elegance, and emotional depth, ensuring his enduring legacy as one of the most important composers of the Romantic era.

Mendelssohn was a very talented composer and he worked with Schumann for almost all his life. Sadly, he died at the very young age of 38 of a fatal stroke.
BRAVO MENDELSSOHN!
didnt know he died so early! What a blessing to this world he is
I think your time stamps are off.
Gran concierto. se. escucha hasta la fecha. 🇲🇽
@@jewsforjesusaustralia7594 jews for jesus ? Tha fuck ? You condemned and killed him ...
To me, his violin concerto is the greatest among violin concertos. I first heard it while I was sitting in a National Guard army jeep when I was still in high school. It was heavenly and inspired me to pursue violin playing. Now at age 80 I can say I can play this piece with ease.
+Wing Low an incredible insipiration for me...
+Wing Low - Wow, I'm very happy to read such a nice to read comment around here - thank you!
+Wing Low Have you heard Sibelius` played by Christian Ferras?
+Wing Low Amazing!!
+Wing Low Wing Low! big hugh!
mendelssohn is underrated. his melodies are dramatic and strong.
I'm a Mendelson fan, too. His revival the public’s interest in Papa Bach is not to be forgotten, either b
Felix Mendelssohn truly was a visionary, cuz his music speaks louder than words.
His music does speak louder than words I can say as a fact.
My grandma was supposedly related to him. I still have her violin.
what is your grandma's name?
@@N24S Blanche. I think her maiden name was Mendelssohn, but I'm not sure. She was Romanian.
Definitely one among the greatest music composers.
Imagine if he lived longer.

As a Jew i feel proud of Mendelssohn (he was a Jew)
@@Julio19917 It’s nice to be a Jew ! Jews are generally more intelligent than other humans.
Happy birthday Mendelssohn, you shall live long in our memories. Thanks for all the glorious music.
His life is timeless within our civilization.
Aah a moment when I discover my own comment from the past! What a pleasure meeting older me
Mendelssohn esta entre los mas grandes de todos tolos tiempos. Gracias.
In the words of Glenn Gould "Most underrated composer of the romantic era."
I think it‘s Alkan
And he passed away at such a youthful age.
@@warrenpugh7844 as most of great composers... 😭rip
Glenn Gould is the same guy who said Mozart died too late instead of too early. Don't like him too much.
@@abuelitooo And Mereaux
He and his superbly talented sister both died far too young. But their work will continue as long as people love great music.
Mendelssohn's violin concerto is a music directly from the heaven, I'm sure!
Classical music is underrated
Mendelssohn's music invokes a real cosmic feeling.
They are...
Dear Alex, I invite you to my channel, you can find many interesting piano works of Clara Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, Luise Adolpha le Beau, Anton Bruckner, Anton Urspruch and many others…
Außergewöhnlich geniales Stück.
Peu importe la religion ou nationalité c’est un formidable compositeur qui nous fait vibrer
Son père s'était converti de toute façon.
Am I the only one who thinks that Mendelssohn should be up with the likes of Beethoven and Mozart
No, I strongly agree!!!
Stephen Lanford Second only to the mighty J S Bach - has nobody on here heard his second symphony? One of the greatest works of all time.
tim smith Definitely agree.
tim smith Well, he is...
+Steve O'Nions I agree with you. Mendelssohn's 2nd symphony is amazing. I wish it was played more.
I love Mendelssohn because his music always makes me happy!
SINÓ FUERA POPR LA PROPAGANDA QUE INTRODUCEN EN EL MEDIO DE LA MELODÍA
Iconic composer..what a pleasure to hear this concert..
Mendelssohn, c'est vraiment un monument! 53:45, magnifique!!!
Genius ! Sad he passed away so young !
True, but it was the 1840s haha. Mid-30s wasn't too shabby back then.
@@xglitch97 Even during that time, it would have been considered young. It's a total myth that people didn't live very long in earlier times. I have an original antique book from 1839 (a biography about Alexander Pope) and they describe someone in their 30's and 40's as being young.
To me he is a hero for his heroic stand on Romantic music!

Dieser Autor gibt uns Romantik in seiner Musik mit Ekstase und Sublimation der Schönheit, des Guten und der Gerechtigkeit
Mendelssohn Always Gives Me The Chills, In The Most Beautiful Ways.; Joseph M
Yes, it does
Mendelsohn, your VIOLIN CONCERTO is the best among all the Violin Concertos I heard in the world. To think, you cant even play Violin but are able to compose such a brilliant Masterpiece??... baffled me big time. You are beyond Brilliant, Mendelsohn. Thank you for all the wonderful Music you composed.
My great-Great etc Grandfather, a violinist Virtuoso and Composer Ferdinand David, who was born in the same room as Mendelssohn but a year later helped him with score and arrangement of Op64 which took 5 years to complete and played the first public concert of this work 1845 in Leipzig with David as soloist! I just love it!
Su marcha nupsial hasta la fecha. se interpreta. y hasta el fin del mundo. ..🇲🇽 🎶🎶🎶 🧚🧚🧚🧚🧚 💕.
..romanticismo puro,excelente,docientos años no es nada...para la música.
Mendelssohn's music evokes mental images like few other composers.
Gracias por mandar esta maravillosa musica Mexico
his VIOLIN CONCERTO is the best piece of classical music ever
when listening to Mendesohn it's hard to believe there was anyone greater; his stunningly unique music just magically possesses the soul in a way no othe composer does.
I totally agree,I especially love Fingals cave,as you can imagine you are there with the tempestuous waves,lapping up against the rocks.
Music so beautiful and surprisingly humble and non pretentious..
Wunderbar!
Increible vibración, reconforta... los suspiros.. compartir gracias..
Rien n'est plus beau, plus prenant et très romantique, que la musique classique d'antan, où l'on sent les capacités des mélomanes de cette époque assez lointaine.
Gracias por tu aporte buena musica para mis hijos y mi familia saludos de PERU!!!!...
I ADORREEE MENDELSSOHN!!!!!!!!!!!! He's my first favourite composer together with his sister Fanny Mendelssohn and this concerto is one of my favourite pieces!!!!!!!!! IT IS SOOOOOOOOO SAD THAT HE DIED SOOOOOO YOUNG!!!!!! HE DESERVED TO LIVE UNTIL TODAY AND LONG AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I always pictured Mendelssohn as one of these boring baroque dudes with harpsichords and whatnot. I heard his violin concerto number 6 the other day and was like "what was that!?" Amazing stuff. Not at all what I expected.
Csodálatos nem tudom már megszámolni hányszor hallgattam meg!!!!...Holgy eloadoval is.......élvezet volt!!!§

His violin concerto reminds me of a symphony and it's so classical thank you 😊
Beau jusqu'aux larmes.
Mendelssohn for me the second best composer after Bach
On ne sais pas si il faut apprécier ou écouter avec émotion ou pleurer car voyez vous c'est splendide
I don't know what to say...This is the real music...the real soul language...💖
Infinitamente agradecido por ta estupendo trabajo muy trascendental
What a beautiful concert, there is nothing like listening to Mendelsson on a winter day, rain outside and Melndelsson in house.

Damn man, this is my first time listening to music written by Felix Mendelssohn and I'm already getting chills from hearing his first song O.o

Listen to (and importantly watch) Piano Concerto No. 1 in G minor (Op. 25) Yuja Wang, Kurt Masur. Absolutely brilliant!
You've heard him before, Felix Mendelssohn's "Wedding March" in C major, generally being played on a church pipe organ.
I feel it too.
Mendelssohn reminds me of a calm and more careful Vivaldi
Estonteante, incomparável, emocionante, maravilhosamente belo. Como descrever a genialidade desse artista tão raro? Músicas construídas por um homem que conheceu a D'us, e de forma magnífica! Obrigada mil vezes por terem compartilhado essa pérola.
Voce obrigado
Un cadeau pour mes oreilles... Wonderful!
This recording stems from 1984 and was performed by Cho-Liang Lin. The conductor was Michael Tilson Thomas.
It was this recording that drew me into classical music. It is still one of my favourites.
This remains my all-time favorite after playing it as a teenager. It touches every emotion available in the human heart.
Beautiful music, I started listening when I so little
Ce concerto pour violon en mi mineur est absolument EXTRAORDINAIRE ♥ ♥
In all the pictures of Mendelssohn I see a good-natured, happy individual. I think that he is a good example of extreme genius not leading to tragedy :)
Jeho houslový koncert je ze všech houslových nejkrásnější a je mi krásně na duši při poslechu.
La musique divine!
My favorite composer
Wonderful compilation- thank you
What a masterpiece!
Every time I hear it I feel worth living.
It makes me "taller". Every void in my heart is filled in with memories and passion.
So many images come to my mind. Mostly during winter at night while it is windy and me walking alone in an upward tile paved road listening to that. Amazing. Great motivator for every good action.
Danke FeliXXX 🙏🍇🍇🍇
I agree about this composer. He has been underated.
Thank you so much! Lovely composer ❤️
Instant magiques,que du bonheur a écouter plusieurs fois
oh god! some times it brings me tear :'( .. i have never listen such a wonderful music.. actually i m Indian.. so we r not habituated such kind of music,admitting i have never heard such a wonderful music ...
Than listen to russian music, like Profokiev and Rimsky-Korsakov
India was always shit on music, today its nothing but a joke. I am Indian.
Great spirit of the music Felix Mendelssohn
Uplifting, and sweet and gentle. Well played!!! THANKS.
Dear Eva-Maria, I invite you to my channel, you can find many interesting piano works of Clara Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, Luise Adolpha le Beau, Anton Bruckner, Anton Urspruch and many others…
Wow, I did not know 45:39 was done by Mendelssohn. I have always loved this piece.
The intro takes my breath away
Yea same...
The music of Mendelssohn always reminds me of spring days and far away meadows lined with ancient bowing trees. If you want to hear more Mendelssohn check out his trio no. 1, fantastic.
It kinda reminds me of spring time too not gonna lie.
I love this violin concerto very much -greaceful and peaceful .
Hilary Hahn performs Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64 perfectly! Thanks Felix you are a great musician.
You reckon? Listen to Julia Fischer play this piece, she's the best!
Of the three major violin concertos, I think Mendelssohn's song is the best. The composition of the music, the beauty of the melody which develops gracefully, the tone of richness etc. are superior in all respects. The high degree of completion is incomparable.
As famous as Mendelssohn is, he is still underrated. He ranks with the best, and we know who they are.
You are right and wrong. He is the best. The Leipzig conservatory he founded was the center for musical education for the world. Where would we be if Mendelsshon-Bartholdy didn't rediscover Bach's music.
Hebrides, Fingal's cave. My favorite
So true, re Mendelssohn being under-rated. His dying at 38 didn't help him develop his legacy. But still, the violin concerto, A Midsummer Night's Dream Suite, and Symphonies # 3 and 4, ensure his place in the pantheon of the world's finest composers.
In my opinion the best are Mendelssohn, Schumann, and of course Beethoven and Mozart. I couldn't pick a favourite out of those 4 at gunpoint. But of course, that's just my (subjective) opinion :)
Perhaps Tchaikovsky deserves inclusion? What a genius across a broad spectrum of music from ballet masterpieces like Swan Lake and The Nutcracker, to opera, especially Eugene Onegin, to his symphonic masterpieces.
I am in awe of Tchaikovsky's range of genius!
Il n'y à qu'un Stradivarius pour me faire pleurer pour la beauté du son !
Simplesmente fantástico !
Fingal's cave was the piece of music that gave me my love of classical music and opera. It was played by our msic teacher on an old wind up gramophone. (Well I am 82!)
My favorite is the Hebrides Overture. It is quite fascinating!
Mendelssohn, sempre um encanto !!!
Started my research paper 1 hour four minutes and 15 seconds ago and nothing has been done. Thanks Mendelssohn.
i know dat feel
Is this the new "Thanks Obama"?
Love love LOVE Mendelssohn. His works really take me to another world. Thanks for uploading this :)
Loved forever this music, it's sublime, immortal. 🔥💢🕛💨📣📃🎶🎻🎼🙏
An underrated composer, partly due to endemic anti-Semitism in the years up to 1945, and also because he died far too young of a stroke due to undiagnosed high blood pressure (a genetic trait in his family).
Happy Birthday to the composer!
A great composer who in his short life created many masterworks. Along with Schubert, I consider him one of the enjoyable music composers. Not trying to prove any points. His music is very relaxing and very distinct. Some composers can be mistaken for others. Mendelssohn has his own sound. Very much in the same vein as Rossini is to the Italian school.
Norman Davis ne pas oublier sa sœur Fanny qui composa et n’ayant pas le droit d’éditer, vous trouver ses œuvres sous le nom de Félix ex L’italian
Very true
I love Mendelssohn and Rossini,as they show such a depth and change of emotion in their music that you can escape into another world.
Had always been a huge fan of Niccolo Paganini’s violin compositions...then along comes Mendelssohn! Wow!
A música erudita é o sentimento que vem da alma
Da série: “O Judaísmo na Música”. O que é música erudita?
Wonderful Felix Meldelsson melodia para tomar buenas y nuevas decisiones
One of the Best, no doubt.
Mendelssohn is the father of the Romantic Period. Love his music!
To qualify as 'Father' of the "Romantic Period", Felix would have to have been born at least 50 years earlier.
So beautiful, thanks for posting.
Most greaceful and peaceful violin concerto .
Distinguished composer. Briliant.
I introduced the famous composers to my granddaughters every night since I am sleeping with them in the same bed . Corona virus positive effect. When we got to mendelson they asked for him again and again. I got moref familiar with his music and realized his genius. He uses all the families of the orchestra in a unique way and within every group he creates dynamic and magic. There is flow and contrast and gentleness and drama....so well crafted. He deserved more recognition like the other famous composers from Bach to shostakovich....before andafter.
Is it true that Felix copied his sister's work into his own. How much did Fanny and Felix compose their work individually, please shed light into this information.
@@valsammajoseph421 Are you asking me Joseph??
@@valsammajoseph421 As far as I know his sister and him were very close. They wrote songs together. He was very gifted from young age and was popular in Germany Vagner wasn't happy about it ....
Gracias, Mendelssohn, por elaborar tan bellas melodías, que hoy puedo escuchar y deleitarme
Mendelssohn is one of the best composer I love. His Elijah oratorio is so awesome and so difficult. When I sing it with my choir church group, it took more that 3 months to learn it.
Agree that Elijah is awesome. I sang it as a 16-year-old and it marked me indelibly for my whole life (I'm 56 now). I wouldn't say it's difficult though - yes you need to be a competent singer to sing it (and as a male voice you need to have a good range - I sang 1st Tenor at 16, I could just about manage 1st Bass now).
If you want something difficult from the 19th Century, try Noenia by Brahms.
@@steveonions1192 wow that's awesome! The first time I sang Elijah is when I'm 30. Kind of regret it to not learn it when I'm still a teenager.
The Jewish personality that this man's compositions have make him one of my favorites
super vidéo j'ai adoré !!!
maybe my favorite composer of all time...
очень хорошо
Thanks for posting, the good old days of music when music didn't suck!
Critter Alma Deutscher thinks music should be beautiful. A thirteen-year old with a Guarneri del Jesu on loan. Written and performed violin and piano concertos; two operas. CINDERELLA sold out its performances in San Jose instantly ... they added two. A sweet kid.
