My 12 yo son is a piano prodigy, I am along with him as a spectator on his journey, discovering gems as this, never before until now. Grateful everyday to have him enriching our life. He is blessed.
One thing I like about my favourite composer, Schumann, is that he broke off his friendships with people who didn't like Mendelssohn. When I was young there was quite a lot of perjudice against Mendelssohn for being facile. When I was 15 or16 I sang in one of his choral works in the church choir and wrote in my diary, "I will nver say a bad word about Mendelssohn again." I loved playing the Songs without Words that I could manage technically and especially loved the the first one in E major which Schumann said flowed form the purest of springs.
@ Felix de Villiers= I didn't know that about Schumann.Good for him.A man of conviction who recognizes talent Mendelssohn has written some of the most beautiful and enduring music .I think he others were just jealous.I DO remember a few composers were considered too lightweight of much praise or concert space when I was young too..Delius was another -and his music has enriched my life as much as Beethoven's.
For people who did not like the man, or did/could not enjoy his music? Sounds one hell of a reason to break up a friendship. Pity the deaf friends he may have previously had. :(
@@zapazap - No, I know Schumann exaggerated but I like his commitment to Felix M. Schumann did start admiring Wagner but he died before the big operas were composed. He was one of the only musicians in Germany to defend Berlioz and wrote an analysisi of the Symphonie Fantastique.
I too had a prejudice against him. Too saccharine, not avant-garde, oh I do not know why. The crashes of Beethoven fit more with my adolescent self. Now I seek calm, melody and even sound levels so as not jump out of my chair. I will never look down on him again.
@@michaelnancyamsden7410 - He was simply one of the great composers. The whole Mendelssohn family, especially the father, as Jews were anxious to fit into their adopted culture and not to do anything that stuck out as Schumann's music does, but Felix was conscious of this and a marvellous feeling of estrangement runs through his mj0sic. The Scotsch Symphony, the Hebrides. I often played the first Song without Words in E major and when I come to the so-called home key at the end I feel very far from home in some oither home beyond. Felix was better than moist Romantics at not simply repeating the first part but adding something to it, as in this Song i mentioned where he adds something from the middle section.

Hace casi cuatro años no hubiera pensado en disfrutar y mucho menos de vivir de la música clásica, hasta que este video me abrió los ojos y me hizo conocer mi verdadera pasión. Desde entonces no he parado de escuchar música clásica ni de descubrir compositores de todos los géneros, estilos y períodos históricos, desde los más famosos a los menos conocidos. Hoy estoy presentando mi examen para pasar a sexto año de piano, así que no podría estar más agradecido con Mendelssohn. Ojalá el tiempo fuera eterno, asi podría escuchar e interpretar toda la música que amo y divulgarla al mundo.
Mendelssohn was the first composer to transport my soul. I could visualize entire plays in my head while listening to his scores in my grandparent's apartment in NYC.
@lamorton9435 Indeed. And the scherzo at 2:17:47 tells the story of a cartoon mouse fleeing a cartoon cat. (I'm simply a font of such sublime music criticism.)
To Brilliant Classics, thank you for this heavenly piano work on Mendelssohn! I have experienced some of his works that I have in my collectuon, and there is nothing comparable. Therefore, I must conclude on the brilliant merit of these Interpreters who must have entered Mendelssohn's soul and spirit and have enhanced what most beautiful ethereal and sublime they found there... My liking Mendelssohn as a composer has changed radically with the heavenly interpretation of the talented interpreters that you found. My immense Gratitude.
Many years ago my piano teacher called him insignificant composer, who tried to copy Schubert’s style! I was too young to know better. Thanks god I learned otherwise later in my life. Mendelssohn’s piano music is loved by me as much as Schubert’s and Schumann’s. Thank you for re-enforcing my opinion and love for Mendelssohn. Of the three pianists here I heard only Schmitt- Leonardy before, but Van der Laar and De Boyer are superb here too. Bravi!
@@paulsomers6048 I worship Beethoven, but I mentioned only Schubert and Schumann, because, for me, their and Mendelssohn’s compositions, dedicated to solo piano, equally enriched Romantic music landscape. I think, I’ve known all Beethoven’s works, since I was 10, but these 3 I discovered much later, especially Mendelssohn. Schumann was the only serious German composer, who befriended Felix and defended him before antisemites ( Wagner included) in musical circles.
Mendelssohn was the complete musician: composer, performer and conductor. His music is always well-written, beautiful, logical and the gateway composer for young pianists learning to perform because his music is eminently playable. While he doesn't stand up to Beethoven or Chopin's eminence, he is a great composer whose music will live forever. His "Variations Serieuses" is the entry to recital performance of the Masters. I played it at my first major recital and never looked back.
Why compare his music to Beethoven or Chopin? They are all masters of their own, very different, but all made musical landscape immensely richer and enjoyable. Which stars in the sky are better than the others?
MENDELSOHN composed a killer VIOLIN CONCERTO that stunned the world back then and continues to amaze us and our future generations. To think that he cant even play Violin but managed to compose such a high level Violin Concerto that even Paganini would be impressed. Mendelsohn is one of those composers that take time to grow on you. Once that happens, you will be drawn into his genius musical mind and will start to search in youtube for more of his other works.
yes...indeed......uncanny how many composers died so young...just imagine had Mendelssohn lived a full long life what more he could have given to the world. Same with Chopin..Schubert..and others

@@sbareg - " Bonjour " , have had such nights.

Top that off with a nice Cognac, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon nap. " Bonne Journee " .
Beautiful the Andante con moto in E Major, Op.19 , n.1. It reminds me of other times in my life. I was suddenly moved by listening to it. The wonderful things in life.
La musica di Mendelssohn va dritta al cuore, carica di una sorta di serena rassegnazione verso le sofferenze della vita che non può non emozionare... Grazie per aver caricato questa bellissima musica.
I can say I had never paid much attention to Mendelssohn´s piano works before, but Brilliant Classics has offered me a pleasant surprise! Every single track sounds so smooth, gentle and joyful! Thanks for sharing!
@Konstantin Ridaya Mozart definitely was not the first to compose music for solo keyboard. Unless you conveniently forgot the great Bach who also has solo works for keyboard.
@@CK-kd5pn - He wrote that "Mozart invented the entire GENRE", classical music that is. Bach is baroque music. Baroque music is a style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750. This era followed the Renaissance, and was followed in turn by the Classical era. Baroque music is tuneful and very organized and melodies tend to be highly decorated and elaborate. Bach in 1750 has traditionally been regarded as the end of the Baroque Period. Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven composed during the Classical Period. The well-known Classical era of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven is said to have begun in 1775. The transitional, 25 year period between is known as Rococo.
Ever since I went back to college from the beginning of this year, I started getting back into classical/piano music. It helps as a studying tool and makes me feel less overwhelemed. It also comes in handy for writing. I took 3 classes over the past 6 months and passed them. Recently got an A in history. Almost 10 years later and my writing skills are good. Thanks Mendelssohn, Debussy, Satie and Scriabin
I was introduced to classical music by Mendelssohn when I listen to the cassette tape Mendelssohn's Greatest Hits. It has hits like the violin concerto, rondo cappricioso, Piano Trio #1, Piano Concerto, Wedding March, Italian symphony. From there I bought more and more Sony Essential Classics tapes. I must have collected over a 100 tapes. Anywho, I guess I have Mendelssohn to thank for me being able to appreciate classical music. Thanks to have I also was able to enjoy Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Elgar, Richard Strauss, Bruckner, Mahler, Ravel and much more. There is still more pieces I need to listen to.
I'm not a particular fan of Mendelssohn but there is no denying that this set of pieces is a veritable treasure trove, with a lot of hidden gems. Equally impressive, though, is both the interpretation and the production. Both do an excellent job of quiet competence, fundamentally getting out of the way of the music and allowing it to speak for itself without unnecessary distraction. Forget some of the big names in terms of both performers and labels; this is an object lesson in charming music, played intelligently and with a beautiful piano sound. Well done to all involved.
Maestro Mendelssohn, hoy nosotros también, como tantos a través de los años, abrimos las puertas de nuestro corazón para recibir regocijados tu generosa ofrenda poética hecha música. Gracias !
I listen to this excellent compilation almost daily as I work out. So uplifting and expansive. Keeps my muscles in sync and my spirits elevated. Endless gratitude!
All of the enduring composers who are well remembered long after their lifetime have one main thing in common. They all have a unique style that makes them identifiable. While they are all influenced by others past and present, they find their voice and establish an unmistakable brand. Mendelssohn is a perfect example.
It is a Mendelssohn sound - both his and Fanny's. Their father forbade her to compose, but it seems some of her brilliant works composed while Father was alive were circulated as Felix's. One cannot tell which ones, sine the style is something the siblings, in their own words, developed together.
LISTENING NOW EARLY MORNING... MY MOTTO.. IN A UGLY WORLD.. "WAKE UPTOO GOD'S TRUE MUSIC OF SHEER BEAUTY" MENDELSSOHN.. SURPRISINGLY.. IS THAT.!! MY EARS HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED HIS WORKS BEFORE.. UNFORGETTABLE IN CALM.. OF LOVELINESS.TOO THE SOUL THANK YOU!! SUZZAN C WILSON❤❤❤❤
I've been to Mendelssohn's grave near Berlin. The whole family is there in a Jewish cemetery. What I found stunning is that the cemetery almost completely survived the Nazis. A few bullet holes on the buildings, but no desecration of the graves.
Salut Tedgrand, Je ne prends pas position sur le comportement des nazis, ils s'intéressaient plus au juifs vivants qu'aux morts ! C'est une logique épouvantable, mais c'est le coté pragmatique des Allemands depuis toujours. Il n''empêche Mendelssonhn a écrit de bien belles musiques, Beethoven n''est jamais bien loin...

To be honest I had never pay much I attention to Mendelssohn until now! I was playing this list randomly and I get a pleasant surprise at every piece played!
An absolute joy to listen to especially early in my morning. Beautiful interpretations by Masters and of course, what can one say about Mendelssohn....an exceptional composer of the most memorable and lyrical melodies and so very gifted even in his paintings. One of my favorite composers. Thank you so much for posting...You are giving great pleasure.
To BRILLIANT CLASSICS, Your choice of these pieces and the beautiful piano sound are outstanding! Your 'expertise' so to speak, in the search and Feeling of Beauty has rewarded me as I work enthousiastically with the Company of your beautiful offers. Cannot thank you enough. Teresa.
Mendelssohn is one of the very greatest composers of classical music. Far underrated by the taste of the masses (possibly even by antisemitic sentiment).
Yes, it started with severe criticism and denigration of Mendelssohn by Wagner( well known anti-semite) in the press.Wagner was famous not only as a composer, but also as a musical critic.
@Monty Vierra As is usual with summarizing concise assessments, especially my statement is based on a very wide range of intellectual and artistic insights and life experiences. It is a well-worn trick to try to impose narrow intellectual categories to try to shed a bad light on one's vis-à-vis. Self-evidently, I will not be pushed to give justifications here, nor to give art lessons here for free. I merely provide you the gift of some summary hopefully thought-provoking impulses: + Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was born in 1809. For example (regarded as such:) classical music and unfortunately also antisemitism are much older. Current u-t-details have been a minor aspect for my statement. + "anti-semitic morons" hadn´t found “a better way of occupying their time” but to, for example, accuse Jewish for more than two thousand years as so called murderers of Jesus (by the way a Jew himself). Or to murder millions of (in their eyes) Jewish humans in gas chambers. In our times, Israel has several times been attacked with missiles precisely as randomly as Nazis attacked Great-Britain with V1 and V2 missiles. And so on. + u could have looked up, for example, in Wiki yourself: “After his death, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy became the target of anti-Semitic propaganda. The beginning was made by Richard Wagner, who was also influenced by Mendelssohn's compositions, with his pamphlet “Das Judenthum in der Musik”, which appeared in 1850, three years after Mendelssohn's death, first under a pseudonym and then expanded in 1869 under his name. By the time of the second publication, Wagner was already an influential composer, and he "permanently damaged Mendelssohn's reputation": his view contributed to the disdain for Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's work in the second half of the 19th century.” + That the Wedding March as an isolated snippet of a larger Opus and Oeuvre has become a sort of ´garden gnome´, that can be put whenever and wherever deemed appropriate, has nothing to do with appreciation for the composer, but rather confirms my statement. Most people may not even know that it is by Mendelssohn: + Also concerning current any ´regionally orientated´ radio hit lists, I never wrote that Mendelssohn was unknown, as you wish to imply. + The masses seem to like in particular Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and so on (my personal ranking always starts with Bach, like those of very many professional musicians). If u look, for example, for “Vivaldi” “Summer” on u-t there are on top of the list currently roughly 35 million clicks on Ms Samuelsen. Musically, her performance is very average (for example often too slow and sometimes too fast to demonstrate virtuosity, and so on), as it is unfortunately often the case here on u-t, she is appreciated by the musically ignorant masses for being a relatively attractive (i.a. for being blonde) female; + The pianist Mr Glenn Gould even wrote (while he meant that in a more subtle context, the quote is used here to awake u) about Mozart, that he died not too early, but too late. + Moreover, different strokes for different folks, Jedem Tierchen sein Pläsierchen...: if all women were only attracted to one specific man (and the vice versa), humanity would already be extinct... So, ur attack is a priori unsound also for that reason, my statement stood and stands in any case. + Last but certainly not least: It is the essence of great art, for example music, to express the inexpressible using gifts and skills of the particular individual. Therefore, I do not participate in an argy-bargy here with intellectual categories far too small to capture and comprehend great art, like for example by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, but: I continue to savour with all my senses music by various classical (and by the way also contemporary) composers. 😉have an awakening double espresso and, ´Monty´ (rather ´Mighty Virus or so´-fake-troll? ur channel is otherwise already empty only due to vacancies), a nice day .
´Monty Vierra´, Refrain from stalking other people and wasting their time with more empty doubts and insinuations. The likelihood (see my "?") that u are an online troll has continued to increase, dramatically. As u now explicitly admit yourself, your channel behind the name is EMPTY. Also ur first comment here was EMPTY concerning its substance. ´Monty Vierra´ wishes to sound like a mountain, so against an online troll the ironic and mocking aliteration joke 'Mighty Virus' fits. LOL 😆 have a nice day. continue to sort of exhibit on your own, only. If u still don´t understand try reading slowly several times .
MV, Stop online stalking consuming time of others, come out of "the dark" (sic), pay financial compensations 😆and then I could possibly hold said lesson about art and other issues 😉 .
Leonardy's performance of the songs without words are, for me, the best yet and I've heard plenty. What a great surprise. Thank you for this compilation
I feel like everyone around my age (17-21) only listens to rap, dubstep, metal, trap and similar styles. However, I don't have any joy listening to them. I'm sure though, that there are other people my age here...
Engem mindig lenyűgöz W. játéka.Az ő művészete világos, mély, gazdag, emelkedett és nemes!A hangszinek és a hangzás arányai minden sejtet athatnak! Óriási élményt nyújt!!♥️
I now have a new found appreciation of Mendelssohn. I;m glad i studied to this today. Three & a half hours in & everything sounds so fresh still. I cant wait to finish my coursework so i can get back to learning more great pieces. Fully inspired.
Замечательный канал классической музыки,где представлены многие бесценные, неповторимые шедевры. Огромная благодарность за ваш титанический, благородный труд! БРАВИССИМО! 💖👏👏👏👍🙏🌹🌹🌹✨🌟✨👏👏👏
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of sleeping watchmen🎼🎼🎼🎼
Thank you for this. I have loved Mendelssohn’s piano works all my life, as well as his overtures, symphonies and concerti. This is a real gift from you. And now I see a track list as well - thank you!
Je suis en train d'etudier l'Opus 19 no. 4 et cette interprétation m'a vraiment aidé a bien saisir l'esprit de cette belle pièce. Un gran merci depuis le Canada. :)
Four years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. Today, I’m alive and cancer free, serving Him. He is truly the God of a million miracles. Thank you Jesus! I love you.
People described Mendelssohn piano playing in those days as 'rippling over the keyboard'.He was one of the great piano virtuoso at a very early age.His very early piano concertos are quite challenging for many 1st class adult pianists even till now.
This Mendelssohn's masterpiece is covered with my soul with deep emotions , I will dream of Mendelssohn walking in the crowds of London , talking to his funs
It’s your opinion, you have your personal preferences, how you respond to the music. Just don’t close your heart and ears to other beautiful melodies you will hear down the road. Also, the artistry of the pianist is imperial to your response. Schmitt- Leonardy, Van der Laar and Boer are playing Mendelssohn exquisitely!
When I was young, I always enjoyed playing Mendelssohn. Not sure why since he's not one of my favorite composers. Something about the fingering and mood it put me in?
Поздравляю! Лучше позже чем никогда. Серьезно: среди пошлости и грязи Вы нашли путь к красоте классической музыки, возрождающую и очищающую душу. Счастливого Вам пути с открытием новых любимых мелодий.
Дичь ТВ - RYTP без мата, I copied your comment and went to Google to translate. My response? You're right in my eyes - this is really wonderful music and love to Brilliant for putting it out. This is a nice time to be alive in.

My 12 yo son is a piano prodigy, I am along with him as a spectator on his journey, discovering gems as this, never before until now. Grateful everyday to have him enriching our life. He is blessed.
❤❤❤❤
One thing I like about my favourite composer, Schumann, is that he broke off his friendships with people who didn't like Mendelssohn. When I was young there was quite a lot of perjudice against Mendelssohn for being facile. When I was 15 or16 I sang in one of his choral works in the church choir and wrote in my diary, "I will nver say a bad word about Mendelssohn again." I loved playing the Songs without Words that I could manage technically and especially loved the the first one in E major which Schumann said flowed form the purest of springs.
@ Felix de Villiers= I didn't know that about Schumann.Good for him.A man of conviction who recognizes talent Mendelssohn has written some of the most beautiful and enduring music .I think he others were just jealous.I DO remember a few composers were considered too lightweight of much praise or concert space when I was young too..Delius was another -and his music has enriched my life as much as Beethoven's.
For people who did not like the man, or did/could not enjoy his music? Sounds one hell of a reason to break up a friendship.
Pity the deaf friends he may have previously had. :(
@@zapazap - No, I know Schumann exaggerated but I like his commitment to Felix M. Schumann did start admiring Wagner but he died before the big operas were composed. He was one of the only musicians in Germany to defend Berlioz and wrote an analysisi of the Symphonie Fantastique.
I too had a prejudice against him. Too saccharine, not avant-garde, oh I do not know why. The crashes of Beethoven fit more with my adolescent self. Now I seek calm, melody and even sound levels so as not jump out of my chair. I will never look down on him again.
@@michaelnancyamsden7410 - He was simply one of the great composers. The whole Mendelssohn family, especially the father, as Jews were anxious to fit into their adopted culture and not to do anything that stuck out as Schumann's music does, but Felix was conscious of this and a marvellous feeling of estrangement runs through his mj0sic. The Scotsch Symphony, the Hebrides. I often played the first Song without Words in E major and when I come to the so-called home key at the end I feel very far from home in some oither home beyond. Felix was better than moist Romantics at not simply repeating the first part but adding something to it, as in this Song i mentioned where he adds something from the middle section.

Thank u so much
i love this comment haha
Thank you ㅠㅠ
Thank you
Nearly 4 hours of finest piano music, what a treasure!
so good for the soul, yes?
I cannot tell whether I am dissapointed in myself or utterly excited at the prospect that I have never before listened to Mendelssohn's piano works.
1:08:18 The-more I listen to Mendelssohn, the more I realize how smoothly , rhythmically and harmoniously, his divine chords flow.
Hace casi cuatro años no hubiera pensado en disfrutar y mucho menos de vivir de la música clásica, hasta que este video me abrió los ojos y me hizo conocer mi verdadera pasión. Desde entonces no he parado de escuchar música clásica ni de descubrir compositores de todos los géneros, estilos y períodos históricos, desde los más famosos a los menos conocidos. Hoy estoy presentando mi examen para pasar a sexto año de piano, así que no podría estar más agradecido con Mendelssohn. Ojalá el tiempo fuera eterno, asi podría escuchar e interpretar toda la música que amo y divulgarla al mundo.

Mendelssohn was the first composer to transport my soul. I could visualize entire plays in my head while listening to his scores in my grandparent's apartment in NYC.
Not enough people take advantage of Mendelssohn when thinking about football. :-)
Every piece is a lyrical story!
@lamorton9435 Indeed. And the scherzo at 2:17:47 tells the story of a cartoon mouse fleeing a cartoon cat. (I'm simply a font of such sublime music criticism.)
To Brilliant Classics, thank you for this heavenly piano work on Mendelssohn! I have experienced some of his works that I have in my collectuon, and there is nothing comparable. Therefore, I must conclude on the brilliant merit of these Interpreters who must have entered Mendelssohn's soul and spirit and have enhanced what most beautiful ethereal and sublime they found there...
My liking Mendelssohn as a composer has changed radically with the heavenly interpretation of the talented interpreters that you found. My immense Gratitude.
I feel so blessed to have this beautiful music to accompany my hours. Thank you, to all.
Many years ago my piano teacher called him insignificant composer, who tried to copy Schubert’s style! I was too young to know better. Thanks god I learned otherwise later in my life. Mendelssohn’s piano music is loved by me as much as Schubert’s and Schumann’s.
Thank you for re-enforcing my opinion and love for Mendelssohn.
Of the three pianists here I heard only Schmitt- Leonardy before, but Van der Laar and De Boyer are superb here too. Bravi!
Schubert? It was Beethoven who fascinated Mendelssohn! He openly modeled his A minor String Quartet op. 13 on Beethoven's op. 132.
@@paulsomers6048 I worship Beethoven, but I mentioned only Schubert and Schumann, because, for me, their and Mendelssohn’s compositions, dedicated to solo piano, equally enriched Romantic music landscape. I think, I’ve known all Beethoven’s works, since I was 10, but these 3 I discovered much later, especially Mendelssohn. Schumann was the only serious German composer, who befriended Felix and defended him before antisemites ( Wagner included) in musical circles.
Mendelssohn was the complete musician: composer, performer and conductor.
His music is always well-written, beautiful, logical and the gateway composer for young pianists learning to perform because his music is eminently playable.
While he doesn't stand up to Beethoven or Chopin's eminence, he is a great composer whose music will live forever.
His "Variations Serieuses" is the entry to recital performance of the Masters.
I played it at my first major recital and never looked back.
well said
Only the greatest child prodigy ever.......
@@frankrandle4553 Just look at the earliest music he wrote and you will find a man-child who wrote magnificently even in puberty.
Why compare his music to Beethoven or Chopin? They are all masters of their own, very different, but all made musical landscape immensely richer and enjoyable. Which stars in the sky are better than the others?
@@stonefireice6058 I agree completely, but let's face it: there are degrees of "genius."
Oh, what a lyrical GIFT Mendelssohn had! What a delight these pianists have brought to us - THANK YOU!
Mendelssohn's music is simply heartbreaking.🥰
MENDELSOHN composed a killer VIOLIN CONCERTO that stunned the world back then and continues to amaze us and our future generations. To think that he cant even play Violin but managed to compose such a high level Violin Concerto that even Paganini would be impressed. Mendelsohn is one of those composers that take time to grow on you. Once that happens, you will be drawn into his genius musical mind and will start to search in youtube for more of his other works.
His Italian Symphony is just wonderful, esp played fast eg von Karajan.
yes...indeed......uncanny how many composers died so young...just imagine had Mendelssohn lived a full long life what more he could have given to the world. Same with Chopin..Schubert..and others
@@helenavondrakenstein4969 True mam, they were manifested to do too much in such short age, they were literally Gods of Music, really incomparable. Their names would be there till the earth vanishes. Such ones wont be there anymore.
@@alexjoseph9027 well said ...yes indeed..thank you
Actually he studied also the violin and played also in some concerts in several occasions, mostly orchestral pieces..
집근처 사립학교 축제에 갔다가 음반을 샀는데 오드리헵번 주연의 마이 페어 레이디였어요. 매년 봄마다 열리는 축제때마다 가서 맛있는것도 먹고 쇼도 구경하고 빈티지 잡동사니물건들을 조금씩 사모으게 되었는데 독특한 것들이 많아 작품구상하는데 도움이 된것 같아요. 비가 내리던 어느봄 축제날 빗소리가운데 잔잔히 울려퍼지던 피아노연주를 잊을수 없네요. 누군지는 모르겠지만 아름다운 연주를 하고 있어 즐거웠어요. 근처라서 집에서도 들을수 있었거든요. 올해도 축제가 열릴줄알고 설레였는데 코로나때문에 학교학생들을 볼수 없고 문이 닫혀있어 아름다운 하와이의 낭만적인 축제의 모습이 사라져 버리니 쓸쓸하네요. 창가에서 내려다보이는 학교교정에 옛 추억만이 맴돌고 있네요. 아름답고 멋진 이들이 오가던 아름다운 꽃향기속에 지저귀는 새들의 노랫소리가 들리던 아름다운 풍경이 이 아름다운 피아노곡속에 살아 숨쉬는것 같아 마음에 위안이 되네요. 아름다운 하와이에서
멋진 풍경이 머릿속에 그려지네요 😊
Danke - Wunderbare . Nice stuff to listen to on a late spring afternoon at 1730 hrs. Wednesday, 13 May 20 in Hopkinton, Mass. USA .
That's one opinion to agree on at 5:30 AM, Saturday 16 May 2020 in Limoges, France after a night of insomnia. Good day to you sir :)!
@@sbareg - " Bonjour " , have had such nights. Even if it is raining slightly in Limoges, a nice walk along the ' nom de la Vienne ' , place de la Republique ' , and through the ' Jardin Botanique de L' Eveche ' . Top that off with a nice Cognac, and enjoy a peaceful afternoon nap. " Bonne Journee " .
The Wonderfulness and Greatness and Gorgeousness of Mendelssohn is immeasurable and beyond description and off the charts
Beautiful the Andante con moto in E Major, Op.19 , n.1. It reminds me of other times in my life. I was suddenly moved by listening to it. The wonderful things in life.
01:23:46 The intro of this piece is fascinating!
It’s a really good piece!!!
Sounds like a pop song! Amazing
All my life as a musician , I have respected Mendelssohn but only now, Am I realizing just how beautiful and poetic his music is
your life is a waste.
@@aliveli-hq6zk just who the fuck asked you?
La musica di Mendelssohn va dritta al cuore, carica di una sorta di serena rassegnazione verso le sofferenze della vita che non può non emozionare... Grazie per aver caricato questa bellissima musica.
The quality is great, the pianists are great, and Mendelssohn, just brilliant.
I can say I had never paid much attention to Mendelssohn´s piano works before, but Brilliant Classics has offered me a pleasant surprise! Every single track sounds so smooth, gentle and joyful! Thanks for sharing!
jose, - was just going to write the same myself, beautiful piano music!
Mendelssohn composed circles around Mozart!
Jewel Levy I have to say that you know nothing about Mozart and Mendelssohn
@Konstantin Ridaya Mozart definitely was not the first to compose music for solo keyboard. Unless you conveniently forgot the great Bach who also has solo works for keyboard.
@@CK-kd5pn - He wrote that "Mozart invented the entire GENRE", classical music that is. Bach is baroque music. Baroque music is a style of Western art music composed from approximately 1600 to 1750. This era followed the Renaissance, and was followed in turn by the Classical era. Baroque music is tuneful and very organized and melodies tend to be highly decorated and elaborate. Bach in 1750 has traditionally been regarded as the end of the Baroque Period. Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven composed during the Classical Period. The well-known Classical era of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven is said to have begun in 1775. The transitional, 25 year period between is known as Rococo.
Ever since I went back to college from the beginning of this year, I started getting back into classical/piano music. It helps as a studying tool and makes me feel less overwhelemed. It also comes in handy for writing. I took 3 classes over the past 6 months and passed them. Recently got an A in history. Almost 10 years later and my writing skills are good. Thanks Mendelssohn, Debussy, Satie and Scriabin
I was introduced to classical music by Mendelssohn when I listen to the cassette tape Mendelssohn's Greatest Hits. It has hits like the violin concerto, rondo cappricioso, Piano Trio #1, Piano Concerto, Wedding March, Italian symphony. From there I bought more and more Sony Essential Classics tapes. I must have collected over a 100 tapes. Anywho, I guess I have Mendelssohn to thank for me being able to appreciate classical music. Thanks to have I also was able to enjoy Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius, Elgar, Richard Strauss, Bruckner, Mahler, Ravel and much more. There is still more pieces I need to listen to.
Interesting to learn about anyone's "gateway" composer that introduces them to the much wider world of musical experiences within a large genre.
El Trio para piano violín y cello es verdaderamente delirante.!
Simply fabulous. Decent, respectable culture, a treasure forever if the planet doesn't burn up.
Yes, nobody dare dictate me what I should like or dislike.
🌞🌞🌞. Good point...❗. The most beautiful CLASSICAL..art...may persist in heaven...even if we do burn up on Earth planet..🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱
Classical music is a good alternative to music that dictates poor living
Since when is music moralistic? Are your food menus also moralistic?
@@needtoknowbasis3499 ....you might be misinterpreting .......
I get a lot of healing when i listen to mendelssohn song, Thank you~
I'm not a particular fan of Mendelssohn but there is no denying that this set of pieces is a veritable treasure trove, with a lot of hidden gems. Equally impressive, though, is both the interpretation and the production. Both do an excellent job of quiet competence, fundamentally getting out of the way of the music and allowing it to speak for itself without unnecessary distraction. Forget some of the big names in terms of both performers and labels; this is an object lesson in charming music, played intelligently and with a beautiful piano sound. Well done to all involved.
Maestro Mendelssohn, hoy nosotros también, como tantos a través de los años, abrimos las puertas de nuestro corazón para recibir regocijados tu generosa ofrenda poética hecha música. Gracias !
Sono estremamente estasiato
These are TRULY songs without words
I listen to this excellent compilation almost daily as I work out. So uplifting and expansive. Keeps my muscles in sync and my spirits elevated. Endless gratitude!
All of the enduring composers who are well remembered long after their lifetime have one main thing in common. They all have a unique style that makes them identifiable. While they are all influenced by others past and present, they find their voice and establish an unmistakable brand. Mendelssohn is a perfect example.
Paul Heffron n o
Paul Heffron=I do SO agree with you.From the first few bars.
Very well said!
It is a Mendelssohn sound - both his and Fanny's. Their father forbade her to compose, but it seems some of her brilliant works composed while Father was alive were circulated as Felix's. One cannot tell which ones, sine the style is something the siblings, in their own words, developed together.
03:33:22

I've been to Mendelssohn's grave near Berlin.
The whole family is there in a Jewish cemetery.
What I found stunning is that the cemetery almost completely survived the Nazis.
A few bullet holes on the buildings, but no desecration of the graves.
Salut Tedgrand,
Je ne prends pas position sur le comportement des nazis, ils s'intéressaient plus au juifs vivants qu'aux morts ! C'est une logique épouvantable, mais c'est le coté pragmatique des Allemands depuis toujours. Il n''empêche Mendelssonhn a écrit de bien belles musiques, Beethoven n''est jamais bien loin...

To be honest I had never pay much I attention to Mendelssohn until now! I was playing this list randomly and I get a pleasant surprise at every piece played!
An absolute joy to listen to especially early in my morning. Beautiful interpretations by Masters and of course, what can one say about Mendelssohn....an exceptional composer of the most memorable and lyrical melodies and so very gifted even in his paintings. One of my favorite composers. Thank you so much for posting...You are giving great pleasure.
Music has no time. Music is timelessness. Learn art of listening.
🎉 instant crack rock 😂🎉.
Nothing gives you the feeling of the calmness and relaxation. Thank you for such a beautiful music and playlist 🙏
My 12 yo son is a piano prodigy, I am along with him as a spectator on his journey, discovering gems as this
Can he play this first one?
To BRILLIANT CLASSICS, Your choice of these pieces and the beautiful piano sound are outstanding! Your 'expertise' so to speak, in the search and Feeling of Beauty has rewarded me as I work enthousiastically with the Company of your beautiful offers. Cannot thank you enough. Teresa.
Thank you too!
This music video makes the world a happier place.
Very beautiful song without words, I play it at 9 years old
What a treasure trove of musical works..
The greatness of other composers doesn’t seem to matter at all.
I appreciate your insight
Mendelssohn is one of the very greatest composers of classical music.
Far underrated by the taste of the masses (possibly even by antisemitic sentiment).
Yes, it started with severe criticism and denigration of Mendelssohn by Wagner( well known anti-semite) in the press.Wagner was famous not only as a composer, but also as a musical critic.
@Monty Vierra As is usual with summarizing concise assessments, especially my statement is based on a very wide range of intellectual and artistic insights and life experiences. It is a well-worn trick to try to impose narrow intellectual categories to try to shed a bad light on one's vis-à-vis. Self-evidently, I will not be pushed to give justifications here, nor to give art lessons here for free. I merely provide you the gift of some summary hopefully thought-provoking impulses:
+ Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was born in 1809. For example (regarded as such:) classical music and unfortunately also antisemitism are much older. Current u-t-details have been a minor aspect for my statement.
+ "anti-semitic morons" hadn´t found “a better way of occupying their time” but to, for example, accuse Jewish for more than two thousand years as so called murderers of Jesus (by the way a Jew himself). Or to murder millions of (in their eyes) Jewish humans in gas chambers. In our times, Israel has several times been attacked with missiles precisely as randomly as Nazis attacked Great-Britain with V1 and V2 missiles. And so on.
+ u could have looked up, for example, in Wiki yourself: “After his death, Mendelssohn-Bartholdy became the target of anti-Semitic propaganda. The beginning was made by Richard Wagner, who was also influenced by Mendelssohn's compositions, with his pamphlet “Das Judenthum in der Musik”, which appeared in 1850, three years after Mendelssohn's death, first under a pseudonym and then expanded in 1869 under his name. By the time of the second publication, Wagner was already an influential composer, and he "permanently damaged Mendelssohn's reputation": his view contributed to the disdain for Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's work in the second half of the 19th century.”
+ That the Wedding March as an isolated snippet of a larger Opus and Oeuvre has become a sort of ´garden gnome´, that can be put whenever and wherever deemed appropriate, has nothing to do with appreciation for the composer, but rather confirms my statement. Most people may not even know that it is by Mendelssohn:
+ Also concerning current any ´regionally orientated´ radio hit lists, I never wrote that Mendelssohn was unknown, as you wish to imply.
+ The masses seem to like in particular Mozart, Beethoven, Vivaldi and so on (my personal ranking always starts with Bach, like those of very many professional musicians). If u look, for example, for “Vivaldi” “Summer” on u-t there are on top of the list currently roughly 35 million clicks on Ms Samuelsen. Musically, her performance is very average (for example often too slow and sometimes too fast to demonstrate virtuosity, and so on), as it is unfortunately often the case here on u-t, she is appreciated by the musically ignorant masses for being a relatively attractive (i.a. for being blonde) female;
+ The pianist Mr Glenn Gould even wrote (while he meant that in a more subtle context, the quote is used here to awake u) about Mozart, that he died not too early, but too late.
+ Moreover, different strokes for different folks, Jedem Tierchen sein Pläsierchen...: if all women were only attracted to one specific man (and the vice versa), humanity would already be extinct... So, ur attack is a priori unsound also for that reason, my statement stood and stands in any case.
+ Last but certainly not least: It is the essence of great art, for example music, to express the inexpressible using gifts and skills of the particular individual. Therefore, I do not participate in an argy-bargy here with intellectual categories far too small to capture and comprehend great art, like for example by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, but: I continue to savour with all my senses music by various classical (and by the way also contemporary) composers.
😉have an awakening double espresso and, ´Monty´ (rather ´Mighty Virus or so´-fake-troll? ur channel is otherwise already empty only due to vacancies), a nice day .
´Monty Vierra´, Refrain from stalking other people and wasting their time with more empty doubts and insinuations.
The likelihood (see my "?") that u are an online troll has continued to increase, dramatically. As u now explicitly admit yourself, your channel behind the name is EMPTY. Also ur first comment here was EMPTY concerning its substance. ´Monty Vierra´ wishes to sound like a mountain, so against an online troll the ironic and mocking aliteration joke 'Mighty Virus' fits.
LOL 😆 have a nice day. continue to sort of exhibit on your own, only. If u still don´t understand try reading slowly several times .
MV, Stop online stalking consuming time of others, come out of "the dark" (sic), pay financial compensations 😆and then I could possibly hold said lesson about art and other issues 😉 .
Leonardy's performance of the songs without words are, for me, the best yet and I've heard plenty. What a great surprise. Thank you for this compilation
I feel like everyone around my age (17-21) only listens to rap, dubstep, metal, trap and similar styles. However, I don't have any joy listening to them. I'm sure though, that there are other people my age here...
It’s called “herd mentality”. Thanks god there are people, like you, who develop their individual style, and make their own choices in life.
Yep, im 17
Yes, I am 21
24 yo, but i was 21 when you made this comment and i used to listen to Mendelssohn too
Bellas, bellas composiciones!!! Algunas me recuerdan mi época de Conservatorio! 🥰
My favorite will always be 00:54:13 Presto agitato in G Minor, Op. 53: No. 3 and it's so well played... I'm in love, good job and thank you.
Adri Tejero -- Agree 100%....just heard it....made me stop everything! Echoes of Schubert? Huuuuuge! Saludos desde San Agustinillo, Oaxaca !
No hay palabras para destacar la perfección de los concertistas, felicitaciones 🌹🌹🌹🌹
this is calming, joyful yet tranquil, I can listen to this for hours.
Engem mindig lenyűgöz W. játéka.Az ő művészete világos, mély, gazdag, emelkedett és nemes!A hangszinek és a hangzás arányai minden sejtet athatnak! Óriási élményt nyújt!!♥️
Incredibly relaxing. This music, along with the requisite intoxicants (or without, as you prefer), makes for one damn happy afternoon!
Thank you. Variations in Eb Op.82 was my first serious piano accomplishment over 30 years ago. This brought back memories.
I now have a new found appreciation of Mendelssohn. I;m glad i studied to this today. Three & a half hours in & everything sounds so fresh still. I cant wait to finish my coursework so i can get back to learning more great pieces. Fully inspired.
Same here. I didn't realise he was so good. I must start working on some of his pieces.
Замечательный канал классической музыки,где представлены многие бесценные, неповторимые шедевры. Огромная благодарность за ваш титанический, благородный труд! БРАВИССИМО! 💖👏👏👏👍🙏🌹🌹🌹✨🌟✨👏👏👏
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of sleeping watchmen🎼🎼🎼🎼
Thank you for this. I have loved Mendelssohn’s piano works all my life, as well as his overtures, symphonies and concerti. This is a real gift from you. And now I see a track list as well - thank you!
Hellfukkk.
L a gioia di ascoltare per ore la splendida musica di un poeta senza pari!
Thank you, Brilliant Classics! You have done music lovers a great service!
Je suis en train d'etudier l'Opus 19 no. 4 et cette interprétation m'a vraiment aidé a bien saisir l'esprit de cette belle pièce. Un gran merci depuis le Canada. :)
Замечательная ( умиротворяющая) музыка.
Можно бесконечно переслушивать её и наслаждаться.
Your eye make me obsess
Так чудесно, так много людей в этой вселенной рождаются оригинальными и умирают, как бледные фотокопии.
Wonderful -- I have always loved the "Songs Without Words." Thank you!
Algo realmente maravilloso. Creo que he escuchado este enlace unas 100 veces. Y NO NE CANSO.
Four years ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer. Today, I’m alive and cancer free, serving Him. He is truly the God of a million miracles. Thank you Jesus! I love you.
Praise God!
Spare a thought for all the sufferers whom God neglected to help.
Thank you all for granting public accessibility to this beautiful music collection!
Thanks for listening
This composer's work is very nice as it reflects the peaceful everyday life of grass-grazing sheep.
Nothing of the sort! There are too many different emotions, most pleasant, but still. For grazing sheep choose Philip Glass- more appropriate!
you guys are fantastic. bravo! ....and most important of all, stay free!
People described Mendelssohn piano playing in those days as 'rippling over the keyboard'.He was one of the great piano virtuoso at a very early age.His very early piano concertos are quite challenging for many 1st class adult pianists even till now.
To say nothing of his piano trios!
@@wol4fram The great D minor trios ? Oh Yes. I was sweating on the piano for that one !
@@canman5060 I know what you mean! I've heard that the C minor is just as bad (difficulty-wise), though I haven't played it.
I performed the G minor concerto when I was 16. A great piece. At 79 yrs. I can still feel it in my arthritic fingers, even if not play it.
Such gorgeous and lush music. Thanks for posting.
This Mendelssohn's masterpiece is covered with my soul with deep emotions ,
I will dream of Mendelssohn walking in the crowds of London , talking to his funs
Foarte frumos și minunat! Mulțumesc frumos! Multă sănătate alături de cei dragi, cu mult drag! 🙏❤️🕊️😘🌹🌹🌹⛄🎀🧑🎄🌲💕🌟
Thank God for this wonderful relaxing piano music. Ahh.....
I feel too deeply moved to feel relaxation. penetrating signs of genius everywhere.
More like thank Mendelssohn, but ok, I get your point.
I think Mendelssohn's piano works are the most fluid of all the great piano composers, I have to admit I prefer him to Beethoven or Chopin.
It’s your opinion, you have your personal preferences, how you respond to the music. Just don’t close your heart and ears to other beautiful melodies you will hear down the road. Also, the artistry of the pianist is imperial to your response. Schmitt- Leonardy, Van der Laar and Boer are playing Mendelssohn exquisitely!
This is an amazingly beautiful recording and performance. I'm so grateful I strayed upon it.
Thank God I give thanks on behalf of all nations, kindreds, tongues and people's for The Lord's Lovingkindness and mercy endures forever ✊🏾
Mendelssohn's music mesmerizes personally. Without these sorts of music people would become sick.
When I was young, I always enjoyed playing Mendelssohn. Not sure why since he's not one of my favorite composers. Something about the fingering and mood it put me in?
maybe they made you feel happy. They do me, still, sixty years after performing an assortment of them at Conservatorium. Thanks for downloading these
maybe it hurts to be reminded of a more innocent, romantic yet naive world which does not exist.
@@remon563 very accurate insight
don't try to sound quirky.
すばらしい演奏をありがとうございました。
このアルバムは、歴史に残る名盤です。😂

Hi! Congratulations on this wonderful and beautiful collection of Mendelssohn's piano works and thank you very much!!
Bellissima declinazione di ogni singola sfumatura dell'anima.
Произведения Моцарта,Брамса,Мендельсона-сокровища мировой музыкальной культуры.
С этого видео и этой музыки я начал знакомиться с классикой, что очень сильно повлияло на меня впоследствии. Спасибо этому каналу и Мендельссону.
Inderdaad, een geweldige componist en een uitvoering die daarbij past.
Поздравляю! Лучше позже чем никогда. Серьезно: среди пошлости и грязи Вы нашли путь к красоте классической музыки, возрождающую и очищающую душу. Счастливого Вам пути с открытием новых любимых мелодий.
Дичь ТВ - RYTP без мата, I copied your comment and went to Google to translate. My response? You're right in my eyes - this is really wonderful music and love to Brilliant for putting it out. This is a nice time to be alive in.
vous avez tellement raison !
