In the first of its two concerts this
season the Leipzig Gewandhaus
pays tribute to the composerconductor
who, from the
mid-1830s, cemented its high
reputation from the podium.
At the heart of the
programme, one of the most popular of all
concertos is played by a dynamic young soloist.
Part 2 sheds new light on Mendelssohn’s
creativity with an unfairly neglected concert
overture he considered the ‘most intimate’ thing he
had produced, followed by the original version of a
symphony, receiving its UK premiere in this form.
