Mendelssohn - Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 (Scottish) Kurt Masur, Gewandhausorchestra 

Absolutely Peace.

The more one listens to Mendelssohn's music the more one realizes his greatness.

Mendelssohn was hailed as the mozart of 19th century for his talent,but his family's wealth made him follow other activities,not concentrating his full time on composing and in the end his compositions were less compared to others of the era and becoz of this many consider him as a second grade composer

@@Ernesto7608 Absolutely right. I think Mendelssohn and Haydn are two of the most under-appreciated of the great masters. This symphony is such a joy. And I think you could make a case for at least mentioning, perhaps not comparing, the piano trios in the same sentence as Schubert's and there is no higher praise than that.

yeah. you'd need to update your youtube preferences. there are like 20 better performances easily, lol

Desde el 36:51 hasta el final, de lo más hermoso himno que se haya compuesto, muy emotivo

Listen to the "Hebrides" and to the OP 64...

@@marcomartini9239 Personally I find this one to be much superior to both, as good as the concerto is.

me too!

The same happened to me and Mendelson's 3rd and 4th symphonies, its is just spectacular

here vs hear, spelling always counts

Slower is better. More grandiose.

The coda is "weak"? Are you talking about the 4th movement? Because the fourth movement is anything but "weak". It is one hell of a finale! It is an extremely energetic and vigorous and passionate ending to an excellent symphony.

@@death5296 Any chance your comment could be translated into English so that I can find out what you are saying?

@@adamvicari3295 Klemperer loved the 4th movement. The "coda", to which I refer, begins with the meter change to 6/8 and a brand-new hymn-like, or anthem-like melody. I frown on a conductor, even one as gifted as Klemperer, who was himself a composer, re-composing a work. A conductor (or any performer) should accept the work in its entirety as given. None of the above gainsays my assessment of the coda's quality

⁠@@adamvicari3295100% agreed! Profoundly majestic. Sometimes I will cue this up just to listen to the last 4 minutes.

The bombast of late 19 and the tortured intellectualism of 20 - yes. I add my Like.

+Bill Derham, his attack on the opening chord of the Allegro vivacissimo is diluted. I hold Gustavo Dudamel highest in the interpretation of Hendelssohn's Third. But I agree that Mr. Masur is an artist to be held in high esteem.

he's more appreciated now then in the last century. the anti-semitic rhetoric (wagner and others) against him was enough to sway scholarly opinion , depicting mendelssohn as a fraud and a light-weight.

u put it so right, sir!😀😀😀

Totally agree with you Bill. The more I listen to Mendelssohn the more I realise he had no weaknesses in any of the music composed. Everything he touched was perfect. I sometimes think this is one of the greatest symphonies ever written. And as you say, Masur, a true master. No histrionics, no baton but absolute control of his orchestra. A joy to watch.

Piangi perche' se ne e' andato altrove?troppo presto?

sono.d'accordo assolutamente

I TAKE BACK.

It was more interesting to than semi classic I so often hear around. So thank you.

Anyways what is classi? it i s whats too myself.

Well since no ody minds I wrote once.

спасибо😀😀😀

@@thestranger3334 it's not a joker at all.

and yet he managed to survive!! isn't that extraordinary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No: sacrilege!

oh, shut up

I really agree the opening section feels too fast. It's reflective music, but here it's given no time for that. However, I checked the tempo with the metronome and interestingly, it's very close to quarter note = 72, as marked in the Breitkopf und Härtel edition (after all, it is marked Andante con moto, not just Andante). We're certainly used to hearing it slower than the marking, but I think we're also used to hearing it with much more rubato? Masur plays it very straight, which doesn't do it for me. Do have a listen to the rest though. I find the rest of the interpretation much more conducive to the true emotional resonance of the piece, though I find the main body of the first movement a bit too pushed also. But the slow movement is lovely and expansive.
