The pioneering Belgian conductor and leading expert in historical performance practice Philippe Herreweghe has a deep knowledge of German Romantic music and, as a trained psychiatrist, also understands its profound effect on the listener. Felix Mendelssohn wrote his brilliant first symphony at the tender age of fifteen. As a teenager, he already possessed a mastery that can only be compared to the genius of Mozart. As a celebrated pianist, Mendelssohn played his second piano concerto in D minor to great acclaim throughout Europe. In his highly nuanced interpretation of this masterpiece, the French keyboard magician Bertrand Chamayou enchants the audience with breathtaking technical brilliance and great musical poetry.
