Violin Concerto / Octet

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Philharmonia Orchestra & Vladimir Ashkenazy & James Ehnes

Violin Concerto / Octet is an album of works by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, presenting compositions from 1825 and 1844. The music is rooted in early Romantic chamber and concerto styles, with agile string writing, prominent violin solo lines, brisk rhythmic drive and clear, bright harmonies that show Mendelssohn's move from youthful chamber textures to more mature orchestral expression.
