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

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.

What a master is Andres Orozco!!

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

0:20 I. Andante con moto - Allegro un poco agitato 17:58 II. Vivace non troppo 22:30 III. Adagio 32:38 IV. Allegro vivacissimo - Allegro maestoso assai

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.

the guy standing behind the conductor in the very beginning is a guy they hired to cough between movements.

Thanks so much to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for sharing so many outstanding performances with the global music community, with none of those annoying advertisements!

What a passionate rendition of a master symphony.

The first movement requires tension, and this performance had that. This is the best I have heard since I lot my vinyl recording of the Pittsburgh Symphony conducted by William Steinberg. I love this orchestra, they do everything so well.

So grateful for these pandemic performances to keep orchestras alive and thrilling all of us! Helping my journey through Mendelssohn! Thank you, FRS and maestro A O-E!!

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. "Let us not forget the best of what makes us human."

Who but magic maestro Andrès can master these Mendelsohn soundscapes as a pearl of emotion and fascination. And his great musical primordial power and concentration reaches into evry single artist of my dream team hr-Sinfonie , it is magnificent.

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... 🤣 🇧🇷

Thanks so much to the hr-Sinfonieorchester for holding concert like this in the middle of the pandemic

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.

L’œuvre de Mendelssohn est à parcourir , et s’y attarder pour y saisir le phrasé enjoué et tempétueux . Nombre de ses Opus sont en mémoire à travers le temps.Heureux sont les mélomanes qui entendent cette interprétation de bonne facture , où le style du compositeur est immédiatement disponible.

Wonderful to see the intensity of the players in this performance. The respect they have for the music is clear. This is a very fine orchestra and conductor. Thank You.

One of my favorite orchestras. You guys rock!

Thank you so much for making this superb performance of Mendelssohn's Scottish Symphony available to the wider music world. Wonderful playing and insight, with superb rhythmic control and ensemble. In Scotland I visited Oban today, from where Mendelssohn sailed to Staffa Island and saw Fingal's cave, and your music truly resonated with this stunning location. Vielen dank! Gordon U.K.

Wow - this was amazing! - And it's so great, to hear this without any audience, coughing and applauding at the wrong times :-) Mister Andres Orozca-Estrada in best shape! Thank you - Happy to pay my RUNDFUNKGEBÜHREN for this!

Excellent orchestra, great perfornance and a great conductor!

The opening of the symphony is just breathtaking beautiful.

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!

Spectacular! Many thanks for this outstanding performance and for being a home to the great Felix Mendelssohn.

Irgendwie cool das ganze ausklingen zu hören ohne Applaus. Plötzlich wird klar dass das ganze von echen Menschen auf echten, klingenden Instrumenten erzaubert wurde. Schön! :)

Thank Meldelssohn, Tchaikovsky and the video owner, who recover me from a relationship breakdown with ex-. Classic music is holy pure, it really has a big place in my heart.

Dankeschön von ganzem Herzen ♥ 🎶 thank you so much from the bottom of my heart ♥ muchas gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón ♥

Oh, thanks a lot! Scottish symphony is my favorite Mendelssohn's work! It's fantastic! And I never ceased worshipping Andrés Orozco Estrada.

Großartige Aufnahmetechnik und Klang, wie immer beim HR-Orchester! Und man meint, das Orchester selbst wird immer noch besser, wirklich wunderbar. Vielen Dank y muchisimas gracias!

This 4th movement is out of this world! What a genius

Una de mis sinfonías favoritas interpretada por una de las mejores orquestas del mundo, y con un grandioso director de orgullo Latino

Wonderful, soulful performance of a masterpiece. Mendelssohn is a much underrated composer.

Thanks a lot to everybody for this wonderful rendition which allows my mind to fly away from Corona for a while 👏👏👏👏👏💐

Gracias a esta Institución y a sus músicos por brindarnos este pedazo de cielo en estos tiempos obscuros e inciertos.

Increible interpretacion de esta magnifica sinfonia , me hace viajar por Escocia ,oir sus musicas y el viento por sobre la tierra, es un hermoso viaje que agradezco pues mi niñez cultive cultura escosesa y por ello disfruto tanto!!!!!!!!!! Les envio mis saludos y bendiciones de Montevideo Uruguay . Y Gracias !!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely beautiful. I am so grateful that they still share such wonderful music for free on RU-vid. I missed concerts this year, but the special online events are just as heart-warming. Thank you, have a happy and safe new year.

Beautifully played. The balance between sections is perfect with even the kettle drum having just the right volume. Thanks for sharing such a fine performance.

Bravo. The music was played beautifully and with real feeling. I applaud this talented Orchestra and superb Conductor Andres Orozco-Estrada. Thank you for giving the listeners such joy and heart warming music! So many musicians of high quality!

I’m 59 I’ve been in love with this movement since 1975 I got it out of the library old 33

차가운 겨울밤 ! 따뜻한 차 한잔의 여유를 가지고 방구석에서 듣는 님들의 연주 최고의 사랑 ❤ 입니다 🌷 😄 💕 고맙습니다. 🌱 응원합니다 🌻 트롯신

This performance is comfortable to theear and to the mind The comfort of this orchestra‘s performance is irreplaceable , and incomparable

He’s awesome. Thank you to have him in my hometown for conduct in music .. 🌹🌹🌹

Well done HRSO! Great performance of this lovely symphony. To my ears, the distancing of the performers adds something to the experience. Thanks to all of you.

Great! Amazingly played, very sad they made 2 Violins section basically non existent by not filming them at all

Selten in solcher Perfektion gehört! Danke dafür. Das muss man sich ein paar mal anhören, um es zu begreifen. 👍

UNA GRAN MUESTRA DE QUE EL COVID NO DETIENE LA FLUIDEZ Y MANIFESTACIÓN DE LA GRAN MÚSICA CLÁSICA. OME TEOTL UAN TIAHUI HERMANOS GUERREROS Y GRANDES MAESTROS DE LA VIDA Y LA MÚSICA CLÁSICA.

Excited to attend next week to the concert with the master Andrés Orozco-Estrada. Un orgullo para su país.

Stunning from beginning to end - but that last few minutes always moves me to tears. What a gift Mendelssohn gave us.

Excellent orchestra, great perfornance and one of the most talented director of our time

Блестящее исполнение прекрасной музыки!👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤

I am forever grateful for the ability to listen to the world's very best renditions of classical music! From my point of view, the best reason for the existence of RU-vid! Happy New year 2022 to all at FRS .... your reputation is highly deserved!

¡MARAVILLOSA ORQUESTA! ¡MARAVILLOSO DIRECTOR! Muchas gracias.

Was für ein großartiger Job, wenn Sie so großartige Konzerte auf You Tube geben! Vielen Dank !!! Stehender Applaus !!!! Kreative Erfolge und ein frohes, gesundes neues Jahr !!!

Bellísima interpretación. Bellísimo sonido. Excelente trabajo del equipo de televisión. Mil gracias por su tan dedicado y delicado trabajo.

I would like to be thankful to existence for this.

Many thanks for a beautifully performed concert.

Danke schön! Grüße aus dem MARKUSKRANKENHAUS, bleiben Sie behütet!

Wonderful Concert!!! Thank you so much for bringing some joy in this difficult times.

One of the great symphonies of all time---right up there with #40,The Jupiter, Beethoven's 5th, Schuberts Unfinished,Dvoraks New world symphony---just marvelous. Felix Mendelssohns early death, like Mozarts, Schuberts,Chopins & Gershwins was a tragedy of the highest order. He had more to go, and I am sure had he lived a little longer he would have put out a few more great symphonies and concertos.Sigh.

La mejor sinfonia romántica post Beethoven de la historia, y ahora tocada por ésta orquesta y dirigida por mi preferido de Orozco-Estrada

超好 SUPER Performance. Thank you, Frankfurt. Your music has set me free despite COVID restrictions. Greetings from Hong Kong.

Liebes HRSO, vielen Dank für die wunderschöne Musik von Mendelsohn in einer Zeit in der man wegen Covid keine Life Konzerte mehr hören kann 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Immer wunderbar in klang. Herzliche Grüße aus die Niederlande 🇳🇱..

That was absolutely delightful! Thank you so much for this performance.

Excelente, maestro Orozco-Estrada e integrantes... Feliz 2021!!!

One of the best interpretations of this symphony.

Thank you so much for such a great performance of one of the greatest symphonies in history. Bravo!

Tutte le sinfonie di Mendelssohn sono affascinanti ma in particolare la Scozzese così ben interpretata da questa orchestra. Mendelssohn secondo me andrebbe molto rivalutato per la bellezza di tutte le sue composizioni.

A glittering and sparkling performas by all. There is so much moods to this symphony by Mandelson. Bravo ...

i know it was a hard time for the industry and it propably must have been weird for the musicians to play in front of an empty hall, but this gives me the feeling they are playing just for me, which feels kinda nice :) Danke liebes hr-Team. Nicht nur sind die Sinfonien von Mendelssohn ein paar meiner Lieblingskompositionen, aber auch die Bild- und Tonqualität sind hervorragend. Ganz zu schweigen von der tollen Leistung der Musiker und des Maestros!

What a great orchestra & conductor ! What a masterpiece ! I can't hear the 2 first parts without crying...

C’est magnifique , un vrai bonheur , MERCI ! 👏😍👏

Breath taking. Sublime. Stellar

What a wonderful piece. Thank everyone, players , composer and RU-vid.

Excellent performance! A great orchestra and conductor! Thank you!

Dear Maestro, Dear Orchester - Thank you for the goosebumps! Outstanding da capo al fine!

vielen Dank herren und damen.. Bravo 👏

Thank you for the upload and bringing joy to us in such times! New Year's Eve will be less lonely with Mendelssohn!

Una boccata di ossigeno in questo momento di pandemia. Uno scorcio mirabile sul "bello". Grazie HRSO 🙏

Well that was absolutely exhilarating. Such a lively piece. Fantastic

Great great performance, thanks a lot!

Veramente, veramente bravi tutti. Bravissimi.

VERY MELODIC MUSIC.....EXCELLENT PERFOMANCE.....BRAVO...!

¡Espléndida interpretación de esta bellísima sinfonía de Mendelssohn! A la hr-Sinfonieorchester la considero entre las mejores del mundo, con una política respecto de los aficionados tan atinada como odioso me parece el "monetarismo" de la Berliner Philarmoniker (¡quien la ha visto y oído y quién la ve ahora!). No sé nada del nuevo director de la hr-S., pero Orozco-Estrada ha sido excelente y se me antoja inmejorable. La Sinfónica de Viena ha fichado a alguien capaz de competir con la Wiener Phil., que ahí es nada. Un millón de gracias a la hr-S y a Orozo-Estrada. Con toda mi admiración, que es enorme.

Спасибо Вам огромное за запись.

De mis sinfonías favoritas, y tocada de manera tan magistralísima, excelenteeeeee

Minha Orquestra preferida ❤️. Sonoridade ímpar.

Muito obrigado pelo maravilhoso presente!

Wonderful work, wonderful performance. Thank you!

Uma obra-prima executada brilhantemente por um grande Maestro e uma grande Orquestra. Bravo.

Beautiful.

Thank you !

Many thanks!!!

Impecable ejecución de una bella composición musical. Gracias director Orozco Estrada: es un regalo para esta audiencia culta que nos toca compartir una perfecta coordinación de tantos excelentes músicos. Bravissimo🤔

Outstanding.Great conducting realizes full beauty of this masterpiece.And kudos to the talented players.

I'am amazed. Very beautiful execution. Thak you for this wonderful gift!

bravo a tous .Gardez le moral.

Magnifica sinfonía interpretada por una excelente orquesta bajo la batuta de un gran director. BRAVO !!!!

Beautiful!

Bravo, wonderfull rendition of this masterwork, impossible to do better!
