Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4

At 21, Mendelssohn embarked on a ten-month Grand Tour of Italy. Following this, he composed one of his most beloved works, the "Italian" Symphony – described by the composer himself as "the blue sky in A major." Listeners enjoying the warm sounds don't realize that the average orchestra would break a sweat during this symphony: Mendelssohn's Fourth is notoriously difficult. With the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble effortlessly brings out the Italian sun.

Anastasia Kobekina plays Vivaldi

Venice has captured the heart of cellist Anastasia Kobekina. She compiled her impressions of the city into music on her debut album for Sony. It includes works by Vivaldi, one of the most famous residents in the history of La Serenissima. "Cellist Anastasia Kobekina utterly convinces with her ode to Venice," headlined de Volkskrant . The Russian musician's playing is vibrantly virtuosic and rich in color and dynamism. Vivaldi is also on the program for this concert.
