Felix Mendelssohn Was the First to Like Bach Again

Bach died on 28 July 1750

Mendelssohn was born on 3 February 1809

“Everyone loved KISS as a kid. I was the first to love KISS again.”

- King Buzzo

Bach was gone and damn near forgotten until Mendelssohn resurrected St Matthew Passion. At the time, the rare musicians who were familiar with Bach considered his work merely “mathematical” and lacking passion (like a bad math rock band). Felix, twenty years old at the time, didn’t agree. So he took to work organizing a massive performance of St Matthew Passion. He got Carl Friedrich Zelter who was the Head Honky in Charge at the Sing-Akademie zu Berlin to lend him around 250 singers and the entire city of Berlin went ****ing balls to the wall nut **** about it and Bach was BACK mother****ers.

Recommended listening:

Bach: Matthäus-Passion (St. Matthew's Passion) / Sir Georg Solti

Mendelssohn: A Midsummer Night's Dream / Seiji Ozawa
Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood Festival Chorus

Mendelssohn composed the overture when he was 17.

Nice compliment record:

MOZART Requiem / Böhm
