Hamburg, Germany (1809 – 1847)

Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, known generally as Felix Mendelssohn (February 3, 1809 Hamburg, Germany – November 4, 1847 Leipzig) was a German composer and conductor of Jewish parentage of the early Romantic period. His work includes symphonies, concertos, oratorios, piano and chamber music. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes in the late 19th century, his creative originality is now being recognized and re-evaluated, and he is now amongst the most popular composers of the Romantic era.

Felix, the more you listen the more I realize that you're a great composer and that you are not appreciated as they deserve. Great, wonderful Felix! Thank you for your Scottish, for the Symphony No. 1, for the Reformation, to the Hebrides, for the Octet Op.20, for the Prelude and Fugue in Miminore for piano, for Elijah for the dream of a midsummer night and endless lists all your masterpieces! I love you, Felix, I adore you !!!!!

Dear visitors of the Felix Mendelssohn website! We are the electronic pop band Mendelsson from Germany. Since we have registered here on last.fm some strange things are happening. Our page http://www.last.fm/music/Mendelsson seems to be linked with Felix Mendelssohn, although our band name has a different spelling. If any of you have the possibility to tag the music of Felix Mendelssohn correctly with this profile and not with ours, it would be a great help for us! We still have problems uploading our music, because it always gets connected with Felix Mendelssohn. With hope for help we say: Felix, rest in peace! Mendelsson

Scottish symphony is one of my favorites, but the Italian one gets a bit too rosy and cheerful for me at times. I still love the Saltarello Presto, though.

Octet, Songs Without Words, Violin Concerto, 6th String Quartet, The Hebrides Overture, Scottish Symphony, Hymn of Praise, A Midsummer Night's Dream to name but a few... pure magic. What a shame he doesn't have the "name" like Mozart and Beethoven to the people I know. I won't rest until everyone knows the name Felix Mendelssohn! Certainly one of my favourite composers... aboslutely brilliant
