A celebration of spring and renewal, this programme brings together the music of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn alongside Schumann’s radiant ‘Spring’ Symphony.
At its heart is Fanny Mendelssohn’s Das Jahr, presented in a vivid orchestration by Detlev Glanert. Framed around the turning of the seasons, October to December give way to January, February and March, music rich in colour, imagination and quiet emotional power. Rarely heard in the concert hall, Das Jahr reveals Fanny Mendelssohn as a composer of striking individuality and poetic depth.
Felix Mendelssohn’s String Symphony No.10 offers youthful intensity and classical clarity, while Schumann’s ‘Spring’ Symphony brings the programme to a joyful close, bursting with optimism, energy and warmth.
