Mendelssohn: 3. Sinfonie (»Schottische«) ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada

[@bernhardschmidt1276]

One can't even imagine what a journey to and through Scotland looked like in the 19th century. Today Edinburgh is a 2-hour-flight away from Western Germany, and then you can go by a comfortable car. Back then it was sailing and going by coaches, always in danger of very harmful accidents. Mendelssohn even went to Staffa which is still not without dangers today, at least to get off the boat. There is a quite worth reading book by German author Theodor Fontane who went to Scotland 30 years after Mendelssohn, "Beyond the Tweed", where the circumstances of travelling back then are documented quite unflattering. Anyway, there was no B&B-comfort, and people going there must have been people searching for even more wilderness experience than nowadays. And then think what music Mendelssohn created out of this experience. Absolutely amazing. When I went to Staffa with my wife we where humming the "Hebrides" on and on, partly to ignore the seasickness, but mainly to set the frame for this unique experience. You can leave Scotland, but Scotland never leaves you since you were there.

[@rationalistssj6540]

One of the top 10 symphonies of all time in my book. All of Mendelsohn's symphonies are criminally underrated, just as the composer himself is.

[@antoniomartiradonna9498]

Do you know whay ? Because he was of juden ( giudeo ) root . His family converted to Christentum . Wagner , anti semite , hated him.

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

I would say this one is in the top 5. Not many better thats for sure.

[@kenccwong418]

I agree that some of Mendelssohn’s pieces are under-rated.

[@Geen182]

Wich are your favourite ones?

[@rationalistssj6540]

@@Geen182 Offhand I'd say, Mendelsohn 1, 4 and 5 (#1 is like Mozart on steroids; gorgeous!); Brahms 1, 3 and 4; Sibelious 2; Mozart 25, 39-41; Saint-Sohns 1and 2; Beethoven 6; Tchaikovsky 6; Schuman 4; Schubert 9, and a few more

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

I’m Scottish and absolutely love this work. Completely encapsulates the feeling of the place .. amazing all round. ❤

[@joselopes2293]

Mendelssohn was one of the main pillars of the Romantic period. His symphonies are masterpieces, which touch us deeply. His sensitivity and musical talent are unmistakable. The harmony is unequaled and the delicacy of his superb music is fantastic.The sound of the orchestra and its direction are sublime. There are moments that are truly from another world, alternating periods of great intensity with others of reflective calm. This symphony is a masterpiece composed by an amazing musician. Thanks for this glorious recording, who provided unforgettable moments of my life.

[@jlmcguire339]

Wonderful words for such a master of composition.

[@mrbrianmccarthy]

Well said!! I couldn't agree more. Truly one of the great musical lights of the 19th century, and this is one of his masterpieces .

He was great, criminally under rated.

Many thanks to my most loved online orchestra and its lively current maestro for a sensitive and spirited performance of this wondrous Mendelssohn. Reassuring to see my favorite orchestral flutist Clara Andrada "back in the saddle again" -- as we say out here in the western USA (what is left of it). Such a blessing all of you are, including your production crew, for radiating your gifts so beautifully around this suffering planet in these devastating times.

[@jemerlia]

A vastly moving performance of this wonderful music. Without wishing to detract from the music in its entirety I confess the 1st movement held a special place in my life from the moment I heard it as a child: a wild, windswept melancholic landscape, a pinnacle of expressive writing. Effusive thanks to all concerned.

[@carlosdoleron]

Few songs go that deep. It's really nice when I know a song and she's like that. I discovered this symphony 2 days ago and I still can't find a word to describe it. The first movement is simply spectacular... I can't control my emotions when I hear it. I even get a little breathless... 🤣 🇧🇷

I have to add, this is a great version of this. I love that they held back the tempo on the last mvt/the long Coda. That mvt only works if it is played in the most grand manner possible. Many orchestras rush thru it, but these people did it right. Bravo!

Wunderschöne und lyrische Aufführung dieser romantischen und melodischen Sinfonie mit gut vereinigten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders inspirierend und echt lebhaft. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Die soziale Distanzierung ist auch perfekt. Lobenswert!
