About this product
A widely travelled cosmopolitan, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is a fixed star on the horizon of the 19th-century musical world. Not only did he exchange ideas with numerous important personalities of Europe's cultural scene, but provided crucial impulses as a versatile musician and influential intellectual. Sketches from his journeys and his correspondences give an impression of the diverse nature of Mendelssohn's Europe. With compositions and arrangements for string orchestra by Mendelssohn's contemporaries Hector Berlioz, Gaetano Donizetti, Niels W. Gade, and Robert Volkmann, as well as a mature work by the young Mendelssohn himself, Peter Bruns and the Mendelssohn Kammerorchester offer a panorama of the nineteenth century's compositional diversity. They give insight into the sound world that would have been familiar to Mendelssohn, the cosmopolitan.

Way ahead of his time, misunderstood, and a rebel. It is difficult to believe, as we hail Beethoven's achievements, that the great German composer had only been dead three years when Berlioz wrote the erotic Symphonie Fantastique. It was not progress, it was a quantum leap forward for music. Yet he was often shunned, the size and scope of such operas as The Trojans totally alien to those who were still trying to come to terms with the comparative conservatism of Beethoven's Fidelio. Just imagine Brahms was not yet born! This disc is the ideal way to appreciate just how great and significant was his music. From the boisterous Roman Carnival Overture, to the chilling March to the Scaffold, here is the very best of Berlioz. It is presented in outstanding performances, many from the partial cycle of Berlioz made for Naxos by the virtuoso orchestra from San Diego. And it even contains a novelty to titillate those who think they know a lot about Berlioz, with the Rêverie et Caprice, a work of stunning beauty for violin and orchestra.
