Stage@Seven: Mendelssohn: Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage - Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@fallentreewoodcrafts]

Always something new to explore in Classical music... This piece is new to me and very lovely. This orchestra is such a servant to us all during this time of global loneliness. Thankyou from the heart of Nebraska, USA.

I think this is a terrific rendition of this wonderful piece. Ich danke sie sehr.

Standing ovation from Japan . . . alone in my painting studio . . . moved to tears. By the magnificent sound (boy it's amazing what social distancing does to the orchestral sound). By the musicians' obvious exultation in the music. By the indomitable human spirit so abundantly on display - nothing will stop you from making music! Thank you so much Frankfurt Radio Symphony for this transcending dedication to music and to life in this difficult time! An inspiration to us all. I now again pick up my brushes and I too carry on with my art, exulting through paint in the infinite beauty that, despite everything, always surrounds us all! When the pandemic eases, a trip to Europe to hear you in person is very very high on my bucket list!

Outstanding! Mendelssohn has never been one of my great favourites however I've always loved this work. Why it isn't performed more often is a mystery to me. Grateful for the upload.

Try his 3rd Symphony if you haven't already done that.

I would like to thank Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra from the bottom of my heart for the hours of pleasure you have given to me and my U3a music lovers group with your unstintimg postings on KZbin. In particular you have brought wonderful and varied live concerts to your fans during Covid 19 restrictions. I wish all your talented performers all the best for the future. John Tebbs Southwell Nottingham England.

Wunderschöne und erfreuliche Aufführung dieses romantischen und fein komponierten Meisterwerks mit seidigen Tönen aller Streichinstrumente, milden Tönen aller Holzblasinstrumente und, vor allem, brillanten Tönen aller Blechblasinstrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im lebhaften Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Einfach wunderbar!

[@alvarito45]

This Mendelsohn piece shows a lovely sweet Romanticism that puts one to dream. Great performance of our HR FRANKFURT Sinfonie conducted by Orozco-Estrada. Thank you. Viel Danke. Muchas gracias!!

[@liebemein]

Die Aufführung der Tuba in dieser Meisterwerk ist überraschend

[@rickmarti77]

Superb performance!!

[@giancitton2604]

Buona acustica in questo austero monastero. Giusto riverbero per bellisima musica solenne. Sempre super l'orchestra e il suo ottimo direttore.

This is a beautiful performance and an atmospheric location! :)

[@ala3480]

Evocative and beautiful.

[@liebemein]

Thanks very much!!

[@luukashiltunen-musician]

Audio and video quality, both flawless! It’s lovely to hear serpent (a woodwind instrument, a distant ancestor of the tuba) with clarity! Beautifully prepared and implemented performance, reinforced by the acoustics of the church that is wrapping warmly orchestral tones. Thanks a lot!

[@andredesousa7369]

This song is divine. It should be called Calm Heart!

[@lucialeivasoto7534]

雖然音響不太理想,但演奏得非常好聽 ! 還使人想起另一首曲子,芬加爾洞窟序曲 !

[@maraarruda3942]

Bonito!!

Greetings from Ukraine.

[@redbrian3655]

Thank you. I was not familiar with this piece. It lead me to read the poems written by Goethe so that I understood Mendelssohn's inspiration.

[@jeandeblaize4175]

Oups ! L'Église a failli être trop petite pour l'Orchestre ! 😇😷

[@paulsomers6048]

Lovely, but compare this tame piece with Beethoven's setting of the same epigraphical Goethe poems. Mendelssohn does nothing with "Keine Luft von keiner Seite! Todesstille fürchterlich! In der ungeheuern Weite Reget keine Welle sich." Beethoven, who never set foot on a boat at sea, sets the text as if he knew the real terrors of being becalmed in a wind-driven boat. Beethoven's "prosperous voyage" is a joyous relief after the fear and danger of being becalmed. Such different visions of the same text!! I've been becalmed at sea under sail; give me Beethoven's realism!
