孟德爾頌的名字，Felix意涵幸運，人如其名的他不禁讓人好奇：是否因為他流著猶太人血液，父親名為亞伯拉罕，所以這個孩子深受上帝祝 福，不僅能含著金湯匙出生，從小也是個超乎完美的音樂神童。 懷抱上蒼祝福，小孟向神歡呼「神啊，我的心切慕你，如鹿切慕溪水。」這首來自詩篇42的泉湧靈思，在他29歲蜜月旅行時飄然入譜，他把 溫柔、深情、順服的愛全然獻給創造宇宙生命的上帝，新婚之心洋溢著哈利路亞；第二號交響曲《頌歌》，創意來自貝多芬的「合唱交響 曲」，是首「交響清唱劇」的聖頌，當年在萊比錫湯瑪士大教堂由孟德爾頌指揮五百人演、唱，盛況可想而知！指揮大師貝爾紐斯30餘年致力 於巴羅克人聲、近代合唱交響曲以及無伴奏人聲演出，由他帶領台北愛樂合唱團與NSO演繹聖樂奔放的天籟，將令人動容！
Felix, the first name of Mendelssohn, denotes luck. One couldn't help wondering about his luck: whether it be his Jewish blood, or his Abrahamnamed father, blessed him with fortune and musical perfection. Profoundly blessed, Mendelssohn hailed to God "as the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth thee." This inspiration from Psalm 42 was embodied during his honeymoon at the age of 29. He presented hallelujah with newly-wed, gentle, and compliant love to God; Second Symphony Ode, inspired by Beethoven's "symphony choral," is a masterpiece of "symphonic oratorio," once performed by 500 people with Mendelssohn's conducting at Leipzig Thomas Cathedral. German master conductor Bernius has devoted himself to Baroque vocal, modern choral symphony, and a cappela for 30 more years, and his conducting TPF with NSO will be spectacular!
