Benedetti plays Mendelssohn

Available for 25 days

The Scottish Chamber orchestra and its principal conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev, explore music by two of Germany’s great composers, Brahms and Mendelssohn. In his Academic Festival Overture, we hear Brahms at his most celebratory, and in his masterful 4th Symphony, there is music of great beauty and uncompromising intellectual complexity – it's a piece that can’t fail to inspire and move all who hear it. Nicola Benedetti has performed Mendelssohn’s exhilarating Violin Concerto for many years. Bringing together sublime lyrical beauty and fizzing violin fireworks, this concerto is the ideal showcase for the world-renowned Scottish violin virtuoso’s consummate talents.
