Synopsis

Album Description
Like Mozart, Mendelssohn was a child prodigy and prolific composer who died of exhaustion before the age of forty. But along with Robert Schumann, he was also a member of the generation who came of age around the time of Beethoven's death (1827) and who would dominate the German music scene as performers, teachers, and composers until the middle of the century. As a conductor, Mendelssohn's memorable and historic performance of the St. Matthew Passion sparked the revival of Bach's music. The year was 1829; Mendelssohn was just twenty.
