Mendelssohn - in Scotland (4 x 45rpm) Vinyl LP's

MENDELSSOHN IN SCOTLAND/HEBRIDES OVERTURE/SYMPHONY 3/MAAG-LSO 45RPM

Richard Wagner once described his fellow composer Felix Mendelssohn as a painter of landscapes in music. Mendelssohn obviously had no objections to this judgment when he set off for England with the intention of raking together folk melodies that he heard there.

What he harvested during his travels only came to fruition twelve years later in the form of his “Scottish” Symphony, now heard in this wonderful performance by Peter Maag and the London Symphony Orchestra. Maag’s intelligent conducting retains a balance between magical romantic timbre and analytical objectivity, whereby a wholly intentional underlying elegiac mood even spreads its veil over the hymnal third movement and the thrilling finale. His well-moulded interpretation is supported by a clearly stratified orchestral sound which is a real joy to hear, remaining pure and refined, even in the sonorous tutti. And what could be more fitting to round off this “Scottish” programme than the concert overture “The Hebrides“?


Many a Mendelssohn lover would say that this recording should be cast in iron for posterity. But instead, here it is on four 45rpm discs – a real collectors item!
