Symphonic Hit with Goran Gora. Mendelssohn’s Italian Symphony
Conductor Andris POGA
Programme:
Felix MENDELSSOHN Symphony no. 4 (Italian)
20-year-old Mendelssohn goes to Italy where sunny joviality holds sway over the land – and nearly makes him lose his mind. Back home, he writes one of his most optimistic compositions – the Italian Symphony.
