[WuSchell]

Holy crap! Beautifull flute girl is so beautifull at 00:23

[siamakghh2000]

This can almost cause a heart attack specially at 0:55

[BalzViola]

[ithiliom]

one of the best masterpieces ever made by man, in my opinion..:)

[Asterixarcher]

[pwj86772]

I think even Felix Mendelssohn would have rated this video with a thumb up if he was still alive today.

[windstorm1000]

what a work out for the strings!

[ortpian]

La adreanalina, es superlativa!! La energia, es mayor!!

Como siempre, de primera calidad y precision.

Brillante, me siento un poco envidioso de no poder ser parte de

este maravilloso grupo!

Las cuerdas no tienen nada que envidiar a Paganini! Bravisimo!

[zsihaha]

People play Mendelssohn in Caracas well, too. It is full of vitality!

[slevincello]

a good example of a musician hobby during the rehearsals is shown on the score of the oboe at 3:57 and in 5:15 . The boy not only has talent in music but in art too!!

[cherryxcola1]

When was this performed?

[desprez444]

@cherryxcola1 . This performance took place on May 5, 2007 at Teresa Carreño Theater in Caracas, Venezuela.

[mrbrianmccarthy]

Brilliant performance.Good dynamics and good clear playing---all the accents were really accurate.Great job Simon!!!

[mrbrianmccarthy]

@mrbrianmccarthy I love this mvt from this symphony,but there is one part I wish Felix had changed,or just skipped altogether,and thats the section from 2:34-3:17.Its a bit of a 'flat spot" in this piece(It goes on too long with that triplet rhythm,and the energy & drive of the main theme gets lost a little here---Just my opinion)

[windstorm1000]

@mrbrianmccarthy I have to disagree with you there--I think the string triplets add a different sort of tension, like a quiet cork screw before the theme comes back in full.

[thisisntagoodname]

I'll be performing this in May! I'm first horn. <3

[ryantortallini]

@thisisntagoodname me too! and im first violin!

[jrmisy]

[jhonwica]

una interpretacion llena de vitalidad....
