Symphony No. 4 (Mendelssohn)[edit]


One of the rare free recordings of a complete symphony, performed by the semi-professional Skidmore College Orchestra [1]. Except for the 1st movement, the level of performance is astonishingly high.

  • Oppose I don't like the tempi of the 1st (Allegro Vivace) and 4th (Saltarello: Presto) movement - they're too slow-footed in comparison with notable and well-established interpretations. I admit, it's one of the better recordings of the Skidmore College Orchestra, however, still insufficient for our criteria. Just my opinion.

What would you think of promoting just the second and/or third movement as a "sampling" of the symphony? Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 19:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather not, since if we have a complete version, we have to judge it in its entirety. It wouldn't be fair. --Vejvančický (talk) 20:40, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose I agree with Vejvančický. Zginder 2009-04-19T19:53Z (UTC)
