Oh the swells of the sea, the storm, those beautiful clarinets. Exquisite
I first heard this music as part of a Merrie Melodies cartoon when I was about 5 years old...have loved it ever since. Never knew what it was called until some years after that; I asked my Dad for the music and he bought me a 78 speed record with some of Mendelssohn's music on it. I played it on my Roy Rogers/Dale Evans record player. So many, many years ago. Good memories!♥.
This is not only beautifully played but beautifully filmed. The youth of the musicians gives one hope for the future.
What do you mean? The musicians are on average not young here.
@@DellDreamer What do you mean? They all seem to be under 70 years of age.
@Frau_aus_Seide Maybe you should read my comment again.
@Frau_aus_Seide It is of no consequence to me that you are clueless. No need to continue with this pointless back and forth.
I made a special trip to Staffa which inspired Mendelssohn to write this and when visiting, it's very easy to see why it did. The uninhabited chunk of rock rises dramatically from the sea with the basalt rock surrounding the mouth to Fingals cave which looks as though it's man-made rather than a natural geological fault. Approaching the lsland to land is an incredible skill itself and I watched in admiration at the way the young skipper handled the boat, timing his move to go forward on the "right" wave, then reversing the engines to "brake" just at the right point.
I'd heard the overture many many times before i'd actually visited Staffa.....but it was a truly memorable trip which brought the music alive. It really is a very wild place.
Sounds wonderful!
How lovely of you to share this experience.
Thank you for this. He visited man made masterpieces too on his trip here.
Thank you for making your special trip to inspire poor Mendelssohn, I'm sure he needed your encouragement. You should inspire more musicians! Bravo!
Same here! Beautiful spot. ❤
I`ll never stop loving this piece,EVER
It is a personal favorite of mine. I really like the performance conducted by Claudio Abbado
Anthony Storr (music and the mind page 79)notes that Contrary to Tovey's assertion, Mendelssohn was probably not in Fingals cave. For what it is worth...
Me too.
you can tell that the composer is purely enjoying the beautiful masterpiece.
OMG what music! and what a conductor. incredible.
This was a beautiful rendition of a beautiful piece.
I’m not one to often cry these days in my life but there were tears streaming down my face half of the performance. The climax was wonderful.
Wunderschöne und dramatische Aufführung dieser romantischen Ouvertüre mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Echt überzeugend!
It really is inspiring to watch/listen to incredibly talented people play such amazing music... I am genuinely in awe of every member of LSO. Amazing
5:20 is such a strange, moving little flourish. gets me every time
In my opinion, That's the sound of The wave gradually flap the isle of Staffa
Wonderful,thanks Mendelssohn for lifting me up from the crap that`s going in this world.
I'm convinced John Eliot Gardiner is one of the finest conductors ever
Daniel Fuller a very diverse one as well. Does anything from Monteverdi to Brahms
@squidpanda23 Not a huge fan of Karajan to be honest, or old school conductors in general; I prefer my interpretations with at least a sprinkle of HIP
There is only one way to hear this music - on the ferry from Ullapool to Stornaway on a windy and rainy day, with your noise reduction headphones on at full blast especially during the storm sequence. It reduced me to tears.
Ich war noch nie auf den Hybriden, aber ich sehe wie das Wasser an die schroffen Felswände klatscht, sich zurückzieht und neuen Anlauf nimmt. Grandios gespielt.!!!
"Ah! Fresh meat for my pot!" -Rusty Walrus
There it is
NO WAY!
A hopping little myna bird brought me here. Thanks once again Mr Jones.
and i know it. it wasnt some catchy beat, i know this peace.
Me too
1:48 is the best part of the piece
I would pick 4.08 as "the moment." Those war-cries between the woodwinds send shivers down the spine. And what interesting trumpet parts! (still with no valves!)
London Symphony Orchestra: Super!!!
The layers of musicality and crashes of stiff waves on the rocks, here. Unparalleled. Or so it feels.
Wonderful performance by the LSO, beautiful cello sound and basses suave and incisive (probably from bowing overhand), and excellent wind phrasing with the horns. Varied and beautiful sound.
John Eliot Gardiner really understands and conveys this music with the orchestra.
I agree with you. This was an excellent rendition. I heard parts I had never heard before! It sounded very accurate but still created excitement at the appropriate points. Initially, I put it on in the background but had to stop, switch to headphones and restart it giving it my full attention.
What??? The principal bass and at least one other are using underhand, German grip @ 6:00 (Principal is not visible in that shot though) Also, now grip has virtually no affect on playing at that level, at least they should be passed the point of being limited by bow grip.
Nothing wrong with this.Thanks for making my Sunday morning>
Wow! Crystal clear and exciting performance! Thank you for sharing this
BBC Radio 3 brought me here.
Funny story coz caught this brilliant piece, listening to the radio, randomly.
I was amused instantly and starting to discover who composed that.
I rejected Beethoven (music was too soft and gently), than after considering Schubert, Schumann and Mendelssohn, I've cancelled first two and stayed at last one.
After short investigation on net has been confirmed, I was right, I felt the style and magic orchestration of Mendelssohn.
It's shocking for me that me, ignorant never been educated in the cosmos of music, I could recognize composer.
Absolutely brilliant.
Favourite classical piece ever makes me proud to be Scottish
Been going to Scotland for past few decades for holiday. Lovely country. Just came back from loch ness and isle of Skye and once I was there played this piece a few times and it really complimented the surrounding and the scenery. Absolutely great
it's not classical, its romantic
Makes me proud to be Hebridean!
Amazing.
Does anybody remember the the imperturbable myna bird who would hop in rhythm to The Hebrides symphony on a handful of the old 50s Inky cartoons?
The music was mesmerizing and the melody stuck with me all these years. Serendipitously, I realized the music from the cartoon was Mendelssohn.
Please, do a CZcams search for the cartoon. #Inky cartoon, magic myna bird. I promise, it will be worth your time.
Ah. You beat me to it. Woke up a few days ago with this music in my head and that bird. Found it after a brief search. Good times!
Perfect !
What a journey!
Maravilloso compás.
what can i say...? definitely underrated piece...
excellent interpretation
The setup is quite spontaneous
In tears; so beautiful. Thank you.
Awesome
amazing
생동감있는 연주입니다.
mendelesson was absolutely original and no copy cat. pure creativity and beauty.
This is my favorite instrumental.
Exciting interpretation. A lot more rubato than I'm used to hearing. I like it.
Brilliant!w
Sterling, superb music and performance!
Ok, for superb Music, performance........hmmmm...
Simply divine.
Agreed

İt is very interensting and beatuful

Wow!
The original Victor Davis Hanson podcast hosted by Troy Senik. Long live the Republic!
This is too perfect for me to handle
This ranks with the same composer's Midsummer Night's Dream overture among the top dozen short (8-12 mins.) pieces ever composed. Not a note is wasted, not a bar superfluous.
what a camera work.
this jih good
Bravisimo!!!
Как чудесно!
Beautiful music, I can even dance the waltz with the music, I just need my partner
Walkin' bird music, from the walkin' bird cartoon.
Amazing! The colors are great
An amazing music . The best performance I ever heard . This music was played when people were taken to gas chambers during the Second World War . Maestro Sir Gardiner and orchestra are excellent . This music is unbelievable . Spasibo . Danke .
Ada Lyubarksy I don't know if you are related to someone who went to gas chambers or know by word of mouth of those who went to the gas chambers while this music was being played...it gave me a moment of sobering, serious pause.
One of the best Overture in Mendelssohn composition, so far what's yours?🤔
Serial movies Don Winslow of the Navy or Coast Guard, the bad guys theme.
By far the best

Does the set-up ever change, or do the Second Violins always stay on the right?
Hi Harold, this depends on the conductor's preference, and this often changes depending on which piece they're conducting - for example their might be some important details he or she feels can be better highlighted with the seconds in a different position. The second violins can be placed opposite the first violins or next to them. Sometimes the other string sections may be moved around too, but usually it's the first violins who stay still in their position on the left of the conductor.
London Symphony Orchestra
Many Thanks! "Play On!" HAHA!
London Symphony Orchestra It is fantastic this orchester
Makes for great stereo sometimes. Some pieces use 1st and 2nd violins in a kind of “conversation “ and this sounds great over headphones for example.
A GRUTA DE FINGAL (OU AS HÉBRIDAS), FOI COMPOSTA POR UM MENSAGEIRO DE DEUS AQUI NA TERRA CHAMADO MENDELSSOHN, PARA EVOCAR POR MEIOS MUSICAIS, TODA A POESIA DO MAR E DO LUGAR CHEIO DE ENCANTO MÍSTICO.
I'd give 100% credit to Mendelssohn and 0% to 'god'. Anything less is to detract from Mendelssohn's genius.
Orchestra and Maestro: 10 (k)!
Camera: 3,4
Rusty Walrus: Ah, yummy! This is original than Spiralmouth ones!

Is that Celine Moinet playing principal oboe?
Yeah! This is rock! :p ♥
someone PLZ tell me the name of the concertmaster
Hi Sophie, the concertmaster here is Tomo Keller. Tomo is now leader of the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
@@LondonSymphonyOrchestra ooh!! They're a fine orchestra too 👌🏼👌🏼.cant beat you guys though. This is my favourite piece from Mendelssohn.
Okay but like the violas were barely shown in the video 😔
I was think how nice it was to get to see all the sections but I think you're right. Poor violas, always mistreated.
BRAVO‼️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Aren't the strings out of time tiwh the winds sometimes?

Mendelssohn turned out to not be another Mozart as some thought early on..he was just Mendelssohn which works like this demonstrate was good enough.
