Symphonie no. 2 "Lobgesang"

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Edith Mathis & Liselotte Rebmann & Werner Hollweg & Chor der Deutschen Oper Berlin & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphonie no. 2 "Lobgesang" is a symphony-cantata by Felix Mendelssohn, completed in 1840. It combines orchestral symphonic movements with choral and solo vocal settings of sacred texts, blending Classical forms with Romantic-era lyricism and clarity of texture, and it occupies a distinctive place in Mendelssohn's later orchestral and choral output.
