Felix Mendelssohn New York Philharmonic, Leonard Bernstein - Symphony No 4 Italian Symphony No 5 Reformation
Review by Courtney Dow
The album Symphony No 4 Italian Symphony No 5 Reformation by Felix Mendelssohn, performed by the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Leonard Bernstein, is a stunning achievement that showcases the composer's mastery of orchestration and his ability to create music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.
The first half of the album features Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 4 in A major, also known as the Italian Symphony. This work is a vibrant and joyful celebration of the composer's travels throughout Italy, and Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic capture its exuberant spirit with precision and verve. From the opening Allegro vivace to the final Saltarello, the orchestra delivers a performance that is both technically flawless and deeply expressive.
The second half of the album features Mendelssohn's Symphony No. 5 in D major, also known as the Reformation Symphony. This work is a more somber and introspective composition that reflects Mendelssohn's personal struggles with his faith and his attempts to reconcile his religious beliefs with the changing political and social landscape of 19th-century Europe. Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic approach this work with sensitivity and nuance, emphasizing the complex emotional and intellectual themes that run throughout the music.
