Mendelssohn Violin Concerto

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
Mendelssohn Symphony No. 5 in D major, Op. 107, ‘Reformation’
Anthony Robb flute
Antje Weithaas violin
Marios Papadopoulos conductor
After its pious opening, Mendelssohn’s ‘Reformation’ Symphony explodes into a declaration of faith and equality – an image of the Lutheran Reformation as one of fortitude, industry, democratisation and joy, all of which permeate the composer’s best-kept symphonic secret. Before the embracing energy of Mendelssohn’s symphony comes the composer’s supremely elegant Violin Concerto in the sensitive hands of Antje Weithaas and music by Mendelssohn’s beloved Bach: the standout Orchestral Suite No. 2, with its modish flute solos.
