  • what a badass bass player!! even if you don't like it, you have to admit that he has skills :)

  • I just heard this piece on the radio for the first time. Haven't been a huge Mendelssohn, fan but i thought this was great. I have a tendency to enjoy works that are built upon a foundation of a few memorable themes while simultaneously being both contrapuntally complex and melodious . = )

  • @redbrian3655 You may excuse me if I disagree with you, but what you are saying about Wagner is as fanatically closed-minded as what you are precisely criticizing in Wagner himself... just the other way round...

  • @MrViolinGuy Actually, Wagner hated Jews with a passion, and Mendelssohn, though baptised and raised Protestant was still a disgusting Jew in Wagner's eyes..... hence why I will not give Wagner a second listen. What Wagner and his wife did to Mahler was also unforgivable. BRIAN

  • @MrViolinGuy while I agree with you to a certain extent, I have a hard time watching (and listening to) individuals who remain completely stoic during their performances. It defeats the entire purpose (in my eyes) of the music. It's about emotion, essentially. And an excellent musician, when they play, it envelopes their entire being; and I would find it odd if someone who truly enjoyed their musical experiences remained virtually still for an entire performance. Granted, to each their own...

  • i play first viola and im learning this:)

  • ..." On November 6, 1825, Carl Friedrich Zelter wrote a letter to his friend Goethe that young (16) Mendelssohn had just finished an octet ' which is very well put together....." Absolutely wonderful ! Bravissimo !

  • Yah Bozo Paradzik!!!

  • This is arguably one of mendelssohn's best works and he wrote it only at 16!

  • wow...

  • These performances are unforgettable. Thank you. Cheers!!!, Sergio.

  • Beautiful music making! Sincerest Thanks!
