About this Concert

CAMERATA continues its Mendelssohn cycle with two remarkable performances. Featuring artistic partner Janine Jansen as the soloist, they will present the famous violin concerto that Mendelssohn "had in mind in E minor" and whose opening "leaves me no peace," as he confided to his childhood friend, violinist Ferdinand David. The unforgettable opening cantilena of the solo violin over the woven harmonies of the strings and woodwinds is a hallmark of this concerto. For Jansen, the ethereal opening is "pure beauty." The Frankfurter Rundschau praised her performance, describing it as "pensive and light, as if in an endless song without words."

 

Mendelssohn's "Reformation Symphony" transforms a weighty hymn into a full symphony. Martin Luther's 16th-century hymn "Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott" remained a powerful symbol for oppressed Protestants 300 years later. Mendelssohn, who was born into a Jewish family and converted to Protestantism, composed the "Reformation Symphony" with the Luther chorale as its crowning final hymn, celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Protestant "Augsburg Confession." This symphony, titled "Symphony to Celebrate the Church Revolution," was born out of Mendelssohn's deep conviction.

 

CAMERATA, a musical community of faith and collective belief, will now take up this symphonic hymn, offering a tribute to the Protestant Johann Sebastian Bach. Mendelssohn revered Bach as a musical deity and played a key role in his rediscovery with a legendary performance of the "St Matthew Passion." To honor this legacy, CAMERATA will perform Bach's "Ricercar" in a new instrumentation.
