Description
This composition is Mendelssohn’s most important stage works and a great favorite, which explains why it is so frequently performed (especially the overture) and recorded.
World-class musicians like the soloists Jennifer Vyvyan, Marion Lowe and the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Peter Maag, and supported by the Women’s Chorus of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, give a masterly performance of this delightful work which offers an insight into Mendelssohn’s early and late compositional styles.
The quality of the performance leaves nothing to be desired and the listener is carried away to a world of dreams, not only during a summer night.
