Ordinary people of various nations do often work to get along; it's certain oppressive systems of government that are the problem. This music was also played in Nazi concentration camps like Auschwitz, so beautiful can be used by governments as a distraction. It alone isn't the answer.
I have never heard or seen more passionate playing and doing such a distinctive enormous honour to Felix Mendelssohn's most celebrated composition, in which he often participated at viola or violin.
Wow! Just incredible. They are all virtuosos playing in unison with such perfect timing. To see the joy of the music is YoYo Ma’s face. He is beyond gifted.
Incredibile, così bello che non riesco a smettere di ascoltarli. Non si dovrebbe mai dire , ma credo proprio che sia la più bella interpretazione che ho mai sentito.
"Felix Mendelssohn's Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20, was composed in the autumn of 1825 and completed on October 15, when the composer was 16. He wrote it as a birthday gift for his friend and violin teacher Eduard Ritz (1802-1832); it was slightly revised in 1832 before the first public performance on 30 January 1836 at the Leipzig Gewandhaus."
멘델스존 8중주 거의 모든 버전 다 들어 봤는데요 이게 최고인 듯 합니다. 영욱씨 자랑 스럽습니다. 영욱씨와 요요마를 끌어안을 정도로 일본은 1989년엔 여유가 있었네요. 돌아보면 그러하지만 국적을 떠나 음악은아름답고 16세의 맨델스존은 불가사의 합니다. 히토 슈타이얼의 전시를 보고 다시 이곡에 빠져 듭니다.
I wonder if Yo-Yo Ma was the organizer and inspiration of this tremendous performance? He looks very pleased in places, for excellent reasons, and greatly admiring the composer's gifts along the way!
Wonderful. and besides,, this recording is from 89 and no one applauses after that(!) 1st mov. Really impressive and thumbs up for the Japanese audience!!
What a bead of awesomeommity on this master stroke of sheer whatever....I don't think we'll ever know. Thinking that young felix composed this at what...16?, 18?
Seems played to perfection. Sound and image not so great however. What a shame! In JAPAN !!!???? Congratulation to all musicians, and thank you for posting, anyway.
1) What a wonderfully complex score in the way the melody gets passed around from 2nd viola to 1st cello to 4th violin etc etc etc. 2) How perfectly this ensemble plays and with what joy! This is simply amazing!
27:02 I'm just here comparing viola solos. Lol theirs is a more reserved balanced performance but this octet needs flair. Modern ones now do it complete justice specially under brostvyn with bpo but to think 2 centuries pass to get to that point. Still great.
Una bellísima obra de un autor genial. Lástima que la calidad del audio es mediocre: suena débil y como lejana. Muy buen ensamble de músicos de Lejano Oriente, incluído un muy joven Yo Yo Ma lo que indica que es antigua la grabación (1989)
I can't find another version that the 1st violin player was women for Mendelssohn：String Octet Op.20, please open that video. I really want to see that version
How Mendelssohn would’ve loved this! Wonderful. Japanese and Chinese musicians playing together with expertise and joy. Thank you so, so much.
Wonderful. Wonderful. Japanese, Korean and Chinese playing music together. All top-rated performers. No war, no war please. Work to get along. Please.
yeah beautiful.

Wow.. What an All-Star of Asian Strings!
I have never heard or seen more passionate playing and doing such a distinctive enormous honour to Felix Mendelssohn's most celebrated composition, in which he often participated at viola or violin.
The first violinist is fantastic here.
He is Korean Violinist Young Uck Kim, and he taught Bomsori at Seoul National University.
Wow! Just incredible. They are all virtuosos playing in unison with such perfect timing. To see the joy of the music is YoYo Ma’s face. He is beyond gifted.
😮Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance ! Bravo to Maestro Kim and everyone !
I love the little slight smiles that come. on the faces of the players at various times as the music unfolds its joyous message. "Felix", indeed.
That's my dearest mentor Maestro Young Uck Kim!
Wow.
My violin teacher was his student
@@henrykszeryng5900 "student of his" as in "his student".
Great! Every performer is playing more than best!
This is a very nice recording with great artists. I love it!
Man. Great performance. and great shoulders.
YoYo Ma looks so natural playing, you can't tell he's playing from the rear, or just sitting naturally.
Yes, he plays as though he was born playing the cello; totally natural to him, and utterly enjoyable.
Incredibile, così bello che non riesco a smettere di ascoltarli. Non si dovrebbe mai dire , ma credo proprio che sia la più bella interpretazione che ho mai sentito.
If only all teenage angst was so beautifully expressed! (RM was 16 when he composed this octet.)
This is insane. Thanks for uploading.
Maestro Young Uck Kim wow you've come a long way since we played in National Orchestral association with Leon Barzin
wow what an amazing rare footage! Thank you so much!

Nice to see/hear Yo-Yo and Tsutsumi together. So awesome

Good show!
What a bead of awesomeommity on this master stroke of sheer whatever....I don't think we'll ever know.
Thinking that young felix composed this at what...16?, 18?
I hear Felix Mendelssohn composed this String Octet at 16.
Thanks for the confirmation. He could've composed the Octet at 50...... but at 16? It's really hard to get one's head around that.
TheShadowfakx Sadly, he could not have composed it at age 50, as he was decomposing by that time. 8-(
Yes, I was merely implying that even at 50 or even 100 y.o. it is genius but at 16? it's unearthly.
+TheShadowfakx you would too if you were born in a rich, musical family, but i guess you need the ambition too
Oh my god ive played this before adn i didnt even know, except i played the cello 2 part not the one Yo Yo Ma plays
+cpbritt yo yo ma is playing the cello 2 part.
Seems played to perfection. Sound and image not so great however. What a shame! In JAPAN !!!???? Congratulation to all musicians, and thank you for posting, anyway.
Woohoo!
1) What a wonderfully complex score in the way the melody gets passed around from 2nd viola to 1st cello to 4th violin etc etc etc. 2) How perfectly this ensemble plays and with what joy! This is simply amazing!
Awesome! Going to see it tomorrow night at the music room in kitchener Ontario and I can't wait
27:02 I'm just here comparing viola solos. Lol theirs is a more reserved balanced performance but this octet needs flair. Modern ones now do it complete justice specially under brostvyn with bpo but to think 2 centuries pass to get to that point. Still great.
Seriously? More flair?

Answer the telephone. This one for me is, "I got a hemorrhoid". You know. Sing the first 24 bars. It will hit you like a truck.
