Sir András Schiff and the OAE continue their Mendelssohn series with a profound statement of devotion and the composer’s last completed symphony.
Mendelssohn first performed Bach’s St Matthew Passion in 1829, so it is perhaps no surprise that the symphony he began shortly after, and which opens this event, is steeped in the atmosphere of the Reformation.

Director Sir András adds the role of soloist to his duties for the evening’s second work – Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No.2. Composed for the Birmingham Music Festival of 1837, its quality lies in the role of the pianist as the central protagonist in a rhapsodic ensemble drama.

The programme concludes with the Scottish Symphony, which is published as his third but was in fact the last which Mendelssohn would complete.

Its origins lie in the same 1829 grand tour that inspired The Hebrides Overture and Italian Symphony, and while its ‘Scottishness’ is much debated, the work reveals an artist whose enduring appeal lies in his carefully wrought balance of the old and novel.
