Great Composers In.. - Felix Mendelssohn-bartholdy - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Felix Mendelssohn was a child prodigy to rival Mozart and achieved great fame during his lifetime, fêted
across Europe, and composing in the widest possible range of musical genres. However, his music has also
been denigrated for its elegance, charm and symmetry. This insightful biography explores the breadth of his
achievements, the complexities of his privileged upbringing, and the reasons for the fluctuating nature of his
reputation. Musical excerpts include the Violin Concerto, String Octet and Elijah, as well as his choral works,
symphonies, sonatas and songs.
