  1. Symphony No 1 in C minor Op 11 - Felix Mendelssohn
  2. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 1 in G minor Op 25 - Felix Mendelssohn
  3. Symphony No 4 in A, 'Italian' Op 90 - Felix Mendelssohn

Mendelssohn’s C minor symphony, his first scored for full orchestra after a series of works for strings, is packed with originality, astonishing for a fifteen year old composer.

The piano concerto shows many of his strengths, as a dramatic first movement gives way to a lyrical and tender slow section. The finale is a tour de force of elegant, fleet fingered virtuosity.

The irresistibly exuberant Italian Symphony captures in four movements his impressions of the country. The slow movement is a pilgrim’s march, and the gently flowing scherzo is followed by an exhilarating Neapolitan dance as a finale.

The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts’ Orchestra in Association.
