Jaap van Zweden shows his mettle: Mendelssohn and Elgar with the Hong Kong Philharmonic

Alan Yu, 8th December

Although Mendelssohn and Elgar lived in different eras and composed in very different styles, a common thread runs through their works featured in Hong Kong Philharmonic’s performance on Saturday – all of them draw their inspiration from the British Isles.As well-heeled youngsters in the 19th century were wont to do, Mendelssohn embarked on a tour of Europe as part of his education.
