Mendelssohn: "Hebrides" overture op.26 (Neeme Järvi / Orchestre National de France)

Neeme Järvi conducts the Orchestre National de France performing Felix Mendelssohn's "Hebrides" overture. Excerpt from the concert recorded live on 24 January 2019 at the Radio France Auditorium.
The Hebrides Overture was composed between 1829 and 1932, whilst Felix Mendelssohn travelled across Scotland and Italy, allowing him to sketch the first drafts of the his Scottish and Italian symphonies, Mendelssohn's most famous symphonic works.
Known as “The Hebrides”, an island chain in the north of Scotland famous for its inhospitable climate, the work is often referred to as "Fingal’s Cave", in reference to Fingal a mythical character from Ossians Poems, a collection of 3rd-century poems and songs attributed to the bard Ossian.
Approximately 10 minutes in length, the Hebrides Overture was conceived as a Sonata Allegro. It opens with the main theme, calm, undulating and dark, gradually developed throughout the work, bringing to mind the mystery of the sea. The central section is more tumultuous, “a flood of semiquaver scales by the strings", evoking the waves crashing against the walls of the cave (François-René Tranchefort). Much like A Midsummer Night's Dream, the work closes with a return to calm and peacefulness.

"L’Ouverture des Hébrides a été composée entre 1829 et 1932 [...]." Incroyable, la longévité du compositeur.

[@jeanmarcblanc2903]

Ah! Ce que tu es drôle...

[@suzyserling277]

Yes. I hope the mistake will be corrected. Mendelssohn lived from 1809 to 1847. Neeme Jarvi and his sons, great conductors!!!

[@briananderson8428]

Ohhh goodness. Quite delicious. The National Orchestra of France and Neeme Järvi are always superb!

[@dennisrankin325]

Really enjoyed this performance, it has brought tears to my eyes. This has been one of my favourite pieces since I was a Lad. Well done. Thank you all.

There are performances of this work technically perfect but on autopilot, while this performance is more episodic in bringing out every drop of emotion as from a living breathing life journey.

Parts of this don't sound right - speed, timing and cadence of some sections seem off.

[@Biditchoun]

The very beginning of the other version of the ouverture on youtube (London symphony orchestra) are not together, kinda hard to find an excellent version

[@josecabezacabeza7190]

Diez minutos de música espectaculares. Esta es una de las mejores grabaciones que conozco.

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieser romantischen Ouvertüre mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der erfahrene Maestro dirigiert das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Bewundernswert!

[@madybeert8208]

Ik bewonder de dirigent !

[@RonaldWilliams-rz6wp]

I really can appreciate the delicacy of this performance. Even though the composer was German this French orchestra had the right touch for interpreting the work as that being of a Christian jew. I enjoyed it.

What’s up with the blue pocket square that doesn’t match anything?

[@patrickoneal8514]

bw2082 I think he wears the blue pocket square because he’s a native of Estonia. 🇪🇪 Perhaps it’s a patriotic thing.

[@bw2082]

Aspect musical mis à part, la mise en image, le cadrage, les plans, la réalisation, tout est minable ; et que diable ces micros qui par effet d'optique pendouillent devant le nez du chef ? non, décidément nul !

It’s all about the music, stupid!
