Felix Mendelssohn’s childhood precocity as a composer is regarded by many as exceeding that of Mozart – the works recorded here retain much of that sense of youthful inspiration and vitality. The ‘Italian’ Symphony is a model of exquisite balance between Classical and Romantic elements filled with warm lyrical charm reflecting a visit the composer made to Italy in 1830. From its solemn opening to a jubilant coda, the expressive world of the ‘Reformation’ Symphony derives largely from a dramatic use of famous hymn tunes. Unequalled as an evocation of atmosphere and mood, The Hebrides served as an example to the numerous tone poems that followed.
