Part of the BBC Proms. In the first of its two concerts this season the Leipzig Gewandhaus pays tribute to the composer-conductor who, from the mid-1830s, cemented its high reputation from the podium. At the heart of the programme, one of the most popular of all concertos is played by a dynamic young soloist. Part 2 sheds new light on Mendelssohn's creativity with an unfairly neglected concert overture he considered the ?most intimate' thing he had produced, followed by the original version of his 'Reformation' Symphony. Finish time approx. 21:30| 1 Sep 12 | Royal Albert Hall Inner London, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
