Concerto per violino e orchestra in Mi minore op. 64 & Ottetto per archi op. 20

Album by Felix Mendelssohn

This release is a recording of two works by Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1844 and 1825 respectively. One work represents Romantic-era concerto writing with lyrical, song-like solo lines set against a classically structured orchestral framework and virtuosic passages for the soloist, while the other exemplifies early Romantic chamber music through bright, richly interwoven string textures and contrapuntal inventiveness, together reflecting pivotal stages in Mendelssohn's development from youthful prodigy to mature composer.
