EXPLORING MUSIC:
MENDELSSOHN (ii) The Mature Years (1833-1847)
A talk illustrated with fine CD recordings by Adrian Boynton
The 1830s and early '40s saw the completion of some of the great works for which Mendelssohn is chiefly remembered - the Italian and Scotch Symphonies, the Violin Concerto in E minor, the incidental music 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the Piano Trios in D and C minor, the beautiful 'Song without Words' for piano solo and oratorios 'St Paul' and 'Elijah'. Some of Mendelssohn's later works may lack the spontaneity of his earlier compositions, but they demonstrate superb craftsmanship, melodic elegance, inventive orchestration and a fine blend of classical structure and romantic colour.
