mendelssohn, like mahler, was jewish but converted to catholic. he was the one who re-discovered bach. they had a wonderful statue to him but the nazi ss destroyed it for some grossly distorted reason.

[@psychobilly74matze62]

Not catholic but protestant!

[@brunosipavicius7867]

I do love Wagner's music but I dislike his antisemitism writings. Because of those Nazis- and antisemitism within Germany- made the destruction of the statues.

[@MegaVicar]

@BrianWolle Mendelssohn became Lutheran, not Roman Catholic. This symphony celebrates the Augsburg Confession which is still the Lutheran confession of faith.

[@brunosipavicius7867]

Supimpa great to know that he composed this piece in tribute to Lutheran Church reform. Cheers from São Paulo, Brazil.

The conductor is really into the feelings of the players. An excellent performance.

[@giginorman1955]

300th anniversary, not 200th

[@giginorman1955]

I really enjoyed the tempi section.

[@notaire2]

Mittelmäßige Aufführung dieser romantischen Sinfonie mit gut phrasierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der erfahrene Dirigent versucht das perfekt trainierte Orchester im möglichst inspirierenden Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik zu leiten.

[@constantouwerkerk4763]

The performance was, I think, not mediocre but outstanding.

[@notaire2]

@@constantouwerkerk4763 Thanks. But it depends on everyone's feeling, which is quite subjective.

[@normankarr56]

@@constantouwerkerk4763 I, too, think the performance was outstanding.

[@dirksmits4421]
