Mendelssohn Scottish Symphony

Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture, Op. 26 * Side-by-Side
Mendelssohn Piano Concerto in G minor, Op. 25
Mendelssohn Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56, ‘Scottish’

Nuron Mukumi piano
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
Cayenna Ponchione-Bailey conductor*

Wandering the streets of Edinburgh and rambling the hillsides of the Hebrides in 1829, Mendelssohn was overcome. Nothing, apparently, had prepared him for the impact of the dramatic Caledonian coastline and imposing capital. Mendelssohn’s splendid symphonic souvenir of Scotland moves from dark standing stones to Scottish folk tunes across forty minutes of free-flowing, rugged musical brilliance. Marios Papadopoulos conducts it here after the sea-spray of the composer’s Hebrides Overture and the passionate G minor Piano Concerto under the agile fingers of Nuron Mukumi, alumnus of the Oxford Piano Festival.
