Mendelssohn, Symphony V (3/3)

[contrabassbob]

G bass trombone!!!

[ronaldromero85]

I am around the weird part of Youtube yet again.

[GOLDMATT123]

where are the saxophones lol

[groovehard]

Great performance by the Orchestra. However, I never noticed these before, but here are a couple of "oops!" moments.

Trombone: @ 4:20

Horn: @ 4:57

[1958debs]

Long live the martyrs of faith.

[shakingguy]

Ridiculous conducting ! looks like a joke



[MsAlvaro03]

Aunque un poco rápido para las versiones que conozco se compensa con el empuje y pasión que le pone el maestro Koopman. Algunas entradas de la sección de viento son incorrectas

[TubaSmaug]

a little fast??

I dont know it just seems a little rushed

still one the best symphonys ever written

[hippek]

The best performance of this I've ever hear heard.

[oboe22]

I love the tempo!

[changchubdorje]

Liked this performance for the most part. Although that was NOT my idea of Allegro Maestoso in the final movement there. Methinks Mr. Koopman has been conducting too much period music.

[LEOPARDTWO]

One of the greatest ever written! Bravo!

[MrEriesal]

We should overcome the heathen celebration of Halloween but instead let us celebrate this day as Reformation Day, the day Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenburg Church.

[Allegretto54]

Un hermoso movimiento para una de las mejores sinfonías de Mendelshon: Heroica, sublime, celestial. Saludos desde Chile

[Krisx69]

we played this in orchestra. beautiful piece!

[amd9012]

@Krisx69 fuck u

[HHH2O]

His performance is so refined!!

[lovenugs]

The polyphony going on from 2.15-38, and echoed again at 4.30... can anyone else hear Mozart meets Bach?? Quite an homage to the heroes of old, men of renown. Beautiful passage of composition. No one's posted yet, but I would LOVE to see the 3rd movement from Mendelssohn's 1st up here someday. Such an amazing piece!

[Jaydoggy531]

@lovenugs

It's based on Luther's "A Mighty Fortress is Our God."

[Cronocrata]

This is the most inspiring thing I've heard... Makes me wanna change my life... Make bigger efforts! It's a great piece... Surprises me how unpopular it is =/

5* and fav!

[intelectus1]

ey trabucci, claro que te entendi....tienes razon......

[guitarforgod124]

we're playing this at my school for full orchestra, it's going really well so far. i love it!

[Telmexia]

El bello himno de Matin Lutero, "Castillo Fuerte es nuestro Dios", resulta hermoso oirlo en la versión sinfónica que le dio Mendelssohn. Comparto la opinión de CharlesFernando7; ¡¡Sonido heroico!!

[CharlesFernando7]

Sounds so heroic!!!

[vandorenspaz]

Wonderful piece! Fantastic orchestra! Enthusiastic (and in a way, entertaining) conductor! :)

[lexus33005]

Great piece of music. Also a great example of why conductors should always use batons. I know this is blasphemous but Koopman looks like Homer Simpson conducting after one Duff beer too many.

[trabucchi1998]

ちょっとテンポ早すぎじゃ・・・

途中のＶｎのアルペジオ、あれ倍遅いテンポでもきついっすよ（笑­）

と思ったけど、全体として聴くと、これくらいさらりとした、品の­ある宗教改革もいいもんですね♪

コープマンの猫の手指揮はいつ見てもかわいいっす。

[carminum]

I couldn't agree more. I think...

[advisorC101]

@carminum, google is your friend.

[t0astpenguin]

@carminum Google translate- "'ll Tempo a little too early Vn arpeggios in the middle, and Ssu-fold slower tempo hard at it (laughs). I thought, and listen as a whole, it was much hesitation, ♪ It is also good Reformation of goods Mon Ssu Koopman cat formula is always look cute."

...whaaat? XD

[McGrainBoxing]

@trabucchi1998 You said it all.

[McGrainBoxing]

@trabucchi1998

You said it all.

[bccptw]

Thanks for posting. I played Clarinet II on this piece seven years ago in college. I notice that the clarinets are playing C clarinets. We had to transpose one step up on B-flat clarinets.

BTW- I had the pleasure of meeting Ton Koopman in person, and attending an organ recital of his. Very talented man.

[wefasdf23]

German music played in the German style - pure precision

[wefasdf23]

I can almost hear him singing at the end, ahaha!

[wefasdf23]

Something about his conducting style... I suppose it's professional, but stylisticaly different from what I'm used to.

[phoolisness]

the expressions on his face towards the end!

[violmaster94]

louder strings!

[Heyjohn843]

Some interesting conducting...

[robsimmons1]

I appreciate that they used trombones that were historically appropriate- ie, alto, tenor, and bass ( no valve, with a handle!). Fine job!

[cheerioflute]

Absolutely the best version of this song I have ever heard. Wonderful job everyone =]

[rochyroca]

Castillo Fuerte es Nuestro Dios
