Mendelssohn Symphony no.3 ‘Scottish’ – Musikverein Klagenfurt
The South African conductor skillfully energized the well-prepared orchestra in Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy’s “Scottish” Symphony, building tension and suspense. Inspired by a trip to Scotland, he brought to life the changing atmospheres of the individual movements, the rich coloristic elements with their folkloric influences, and the hymnal A major theme as a final apotheosis, creating an epic experience.
