Abbado, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy Symphony No.4 "Italian" in A major Op.90

1. Allegro vivace 0:00
2. Andante con moto 10:30
3. Con moto moderato 17:26
4. Saltarello: Presto 24:06

[@renato45222]

La più favolosa interpretazione mai registrata dell'op. 90. Non ha confronti, Karajan compreso. Inaudite sonorità, inaudito virtuosismo orchestrale. È la prova che laddove sale sul podio un genio della levatura di Abbado, non esistono più orchestre di primo e secondo rango. Claudio Abbado si situa allo stesso livello di Arturo Toscanini, con infinite raffinatezze e giustezza di accenti in più del sommo Maestro parmense.

[@giuseppemariaperego8937]

Grazie Maestro Abbado. Tra qualche giorno compirò 61 anni... Divento "giovane"... e riaffiorare alla memoria tante sue interpretazioni a cui ho avuto la fortuna di presenziare... un magico 1 di Brahms con Rudolf Serkin al pianoforte... il 2 con Maurizio Pollini al pianoforte 🎹 ( 3 serate consecutive al Conservatorio). Ho nella mia discoteca la Sagra della primavera... penso che dirle Grazie sia poco, ma lo dico fff perché arrivi fin lassù dove ora è Lei, cioè nella "Gloria di Dio" Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962

you can never beat the fire that is the fourth movement

[@b1i2l336]

What a magnificent symphony! What a magnificent performance of it! The young Abbado was one of the greatest conductors of all time.

[@graceslade7532]

Mendelssohn was a genius

[@VallaMusic]

i remember my music teacher in high school saying this symphony was one of the few musical creations where you could say every single note was inevitable and perfect with flawless orchestration

[@canman5060]

I think Mendelssohn Overture to the Mid Summer Night's Dream and Octet Op 20 are flawless youthful master piece. Mendelssohn himself even said that he could never produce music with such quality again in the 1840's.

[@walexwetchina487]

Lar M turns out he was quite wrong thankfully.

[@mydogskips2]

"...one of the few musical creations where you could say every single note was inevitable and perfect with flawless orchestration." While this is a great symphony, I would say that statement pertains even more so to his Hebrides Overture, I mean even Richard Wagner praised it calling it one of the most beautiful pieces of music we have.

[@chiadehati5005]

È bellissima come l'Italia!

[@marcparella]

One of the great symphonic openings. The first movement is an example of perfect compositional development. Completely organic.

[@ytyt3922]

First and second movements of this symphony are fantastic. Third movement is awful. Fourth is okay.

[@Pytro24]

When you know this masterpiece from the start to the end and tries to be the conductor, the first 18 seconds makes you feel like a grand maestro with his best virtuoso violinist right at your left-hand side. Yeah, sex is cool, but it will never beat this in my book.

[@kjellhl1975]

I woke up today with the 3. movement in my head, so I had to put it on. It is such a delightful and haunting theme, and the symphony is one of the best one ever composed.

[@misskim2058]

One of the finest pieces of music ever written! 💕

[@alena8627]

My favorite fact about this symphony is, that at 10:40 you can hear the melody from "Es war ein König in Thule" Mendelssohn used this melody to tribute Zelter (who wrote the melody) and Goethe (who wrote the lyriks) both were his teachers and both died while Mendelssohn was in Italy. Sorry for my bad english i'm not an nativ english speeker

[@SilvanBennett]

Thanks for sharing! What a beautiful fact, never realised that. I only knew that the 2. movement was supposed to be jolly but he changed it to a sad movement because of Goethe's and Zelter's deaths.
