Esta música es una descripción exacta de las tierras escocesas que tanto impresionaron al compositor en uno de sus viajes, en su primer movimiento se nota claramente que fue testigo de una tormenta por esos lugares, se nota que plasmó de forma vivida esa increíble experiencia, solo escuchenla bien y se darán cuenta, Mendelssohn fue el otro niño genio igual que Mozart solo que este nació en cuna de oro y tuvo éxito de inmediato...🎼

For me this Symphony Scottish, is one of most impressive of Mendelssohn melodies This outstanding music support its composition maybe in a voyage of the author to Scotland, and perhaps represents the impression of Mendelssohn about the landscape and history of that country. The orchestra is excellent and the sound is superb.

Que belíssima e profunda melodia tem esse adágio inicial desta sinfonia! Compor sinfonia depois de Beethoven era realmente um desafio para qualquer compositor, ainda mais porque grande parte das lendárias sinfonias de Beethoven foram compostas quando ele estava parcialmente surdo e totalmente surdo. Mas Mendelssohn teve o seu espaço. E tanto a Sinfonia Escocesa quanto a Sinfonia Italiana dão testemunho do seu gênio criador. Mendelssohn desenhava com as notas, em cada compasso, os detalhes da paisagem que ele gostaria de passar para o ouvinte. É digno de nota que, na prática, Mendelsshon era um exímio desenhista, fato desconhecido para muitos dos apreciadores de suas obras.

Please, oh people who criticise this performance - music needs individuality, and not just the same old pre-conceived ideas. Yes, it is individual, and has quite a few surprising moments, but it gets to the heart of what is a normally under-rated symphony . Whether or not you agree with every single touch, it is a fabulous performance! Bravo to Rumon Gamba for his musical vision, and full marks to the response and fine playing from this orchestra. After listening to this, "conventional" performances miss out on the soul we are treated to here. Somehow, I think Mendelssohn would be rather pleased!

[@PETERJOHN101]

Mendelssohn is the true progeny of Mozart and has the same overall energy and attention to detail, a master of orchestration but without the broad panoramic themes of those who came after him. I am personally drawn to his incredibly intricate piano compositions, and I find his chamber works to be more remarkable than his symphonies. Still, this performance is exquisite and immortalizes the composer appropriately.

Important to know that this symphony was written in praise of the British Queen Victoria in the last years of her life. She and Mendelssohn were friends -Queen Victoria was of course of German descent, and spoke fluent German with this great composer. Both he and Schubert were the great losses to Classical music, i.e. both unfortunately died very young.

[@NeilM10]

Queen Victoria far outlived Mendelssohn! Mendelssohn delighted the then young Queen by asking to visit the nursery to meet her young children. He died in 1847, while Victoria lived to the dawn of the 20th century.
