Mendelssohn is truly underrated. His music so easily captures the heart.

While writing this symphony, Mendelsohn was in vacation in our country and wrote these words to his parents home: "This is Italy! And now has begun what I have always thought ... to be the supreme joy in life. And I am loving it. Today was so rich that now, in the evening, I must collect myself a little, and so I am writing to you to thank you, dear parents, for having given me all this happiness".

i heard this piece for the first time in 2007 or 2008 i guess from barbie move (twelve dancing princesses) and i immediately fall in love since then! but no matter how hard i tried to find the title i never found it until today........this piece literally haunts me for years and i'm glad i stumbled upon this again today!

Mendelssohn is one of the main authors of the Romantic period. The sensitivity and simultaneously the harmony of the symphony are amazing. Only an extraordinary composer, with immense talent and outstanding musical genius could compose this masterpiece. The orchestra’ s direction and interpretation are superb.BRAVISSIMO.

Probably the best live performance of this symphony on YouTube.

I first heard this as a child in the late 80s or early 90s when it provided the soundtrack to a cassette version of the audiobook of Peter Pan - I can find no evidence that this existed outside of my memories, but I heard this music on Classic FM and was immediately transported back to my childhood bedroom and listening to this beautiful symphony. I'm so glad I found out what it was!

Det är en fröjd att se och höra hur Paavos händer leder musiken och trollar fram hur det ska låta!! Och frasen med de tre hornen i tredje satsen:musikaliskt en höjdpunkt! som gläder en amatörhornist som jag. Så detta är en glädjerik musikalisk vandring från spänsten och styrkan i första och sista satsen till mjukheten dessemellan.Bravo och tackar 🙏🏻👏

My favorite Mendelsohn story is how his father, a businessman, indulged his son's musical interest. Instead of forcing him into business, he hired musicians to play the latest compositions, and invited friends and business associates into his home for the concerts. Not for an established composer, but for a TEENAGER just learning composition on the fly.

Growing up my parents would always play classical music on the radio. Specifically WQXR broadcast from New York City. Every Saturday morning, often while the family was eating breakfast, the show "Breakfast Symphony" would air, and the third movement of Mendelssohn's Symphony #4 would be the theme song to open the program. I love the whole symphony but this movement brings back good memories of family breakfast on Saturday mornings. Excellent performance by the FRS as lead by Paavo Järvi. Thank you.

Barbie in the 12 dancing princesses brought me here.

Man sieht dem Dirigenten die Freude an der Musik einfach an. 👍
-
Jarvi wasn’t just conducting this orchestra. I got the sense he was having a musical conversation with every individual musician there, and they were all enjoying it immensely. I certainly did. His hands were not so much directive, but inviting the participants to brilliant participation.
-
Jarvi is the first conduct I love who's younger than me. He somehow manages to take a classical piece and find something new and refreshing, yet rings so right. His Beethoven symphonies are my favourite interpretation and he's just as great with this piece.
-
Great music cannot be denied, and this Symphony is great music. It has sweep, bravura, and melody. Anyone who could compose the "Octet" at age 16 has to have what it takes as does this Symphony. Bravo! Bravo!
-
I am in tears. We owe so much to F. Mendelssohn - Bartholdy for keeping the tradition of German Music especially Bach's music.
-
As usual, Paavo Järvi is magnificent. One of the best conductors out there.
-
So oft gehört, immer wieder schön. Hier können die Musiker nicht nur des Stückes wegen aus dem Vollen schöpfen, man merkt auch die Lust am musizieren in jeder einzelnen Note. Sehr angenehme Interpretation!

Kids today watch a Barbie film and end up listening to Mendelssohn.

I like to imagine Mozart being sat down to hear this piece for the first time, seated next to Mendelssohn himself, and from nearby I watch them listen to the piece together.
