This work can be called a tone poem before Liszt. The slow, sluggish pace of ships in a calm sea is followed by the rise of the wind's energy, the sails in full deployment, the sailors carried away by the elements. Where Beethoven relied on the words of Goethe to express the same portrait. Mendelssohn only draws on orchestral instrumentation to achieve even a better sense of energetic movement.
so so beautifull, this music. Mendelssohn is one of my absolute favorite composer. Very nice recording as well
thank God for Frans Bruggen and His people in His Orchestra!!!!!!
