Immerse yourself in the timeless elegance of Felix Mendelssohn's masterpieces, performed by the renowned violinist Alfredo Campoli. Released in 1949 under the Decca Music Group Ltd. label, this album is a captivating journey through some of Mendelssohn's most celebrated works, spanning a little over an hour and ten minutes.
The album opens with the enchanting "The Hebrides Overture, Op. 26," also known as "Fingal's Cave," setting the stage for the virtuosic "Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64." Campoli's mastery shines through in all three movements of the concerto, from the passionate "Allegro molto appassionato" to the lively "Allegretto non troppo – Allegro molto vivace."
The second half of the album is dedicated to Mendelssohn's incidental music for "A Midsummer Night's Dream, Op. 61." Campoli and the accompanying orchestra bring to life the whimsical "Scherzo," the spirited "Intermezzo," and the serene "Notturno," offering a delightful exploration of Mendelssohn's evocative compositions.
The album concludes with two overtures: the dramatic "Leonore Overture No. 2, Op. 72a" and the playful "La scala di seta: Overture." Campoli's interpretation of these pieces showcases his versatility and deep understanding of Mendelssohn's music.
This album is a testament to Alfredo Campoli's artistry and a beautiful introduction to Mendelssohn's enchanting compositions. Whether you're a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rewarding listening experience.
