Michael Barenboim and the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra

Mozart and Mendelssohn, two of the most prodigious musicians of all time, were separated by just eighteen years. Following Mendelssohn's turbulent evocation of Fingal's Cave, two enduring masterpieces from the autumn of their careers are performed by the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra. First joined by violinist Michael Barenboim for Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in E minor, Marios Papadopoulos conducts the orchestra in Mozart’s Symphony No 40 – a magisterial work shimmering with classicism, gravitas and elegance in equal measure.
