Violin Concerto / A Midsummer Night's Dream

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Royal Philharmonic Orchestra & Jane Glover & Leland Chen

Violin Concerto / A Midsummer Night's Dream is a pairing of orchestral works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, composed in 1844 and 1842 respectively. The music combines lyrical solo violin writing with full orchestral textures in an early Romantic idiom, with clear classical forms and bright orchestration that reflect Mendelssohn's mature approach to melody and ensemble writing.
