About

The third series of string symphonies by the youthful Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy marks a turning point - more and more, the rococo character that so unmistakably marked the first six symphonies recedes in favour of a deeply romantic attitude.

In addition, the 7th Symphony, in four movements for the first time, is twice as long as its predecessors.

The dogma chamber orchestra presents this ground-breaking composition together with the Double Concerto for violin and piano, which was composed only a little later and seems to have been written for the soloists Stephen Waarts and Annika Treutler.

Waarts presents the technically demanding violin part with a melting that one does not often hear in the young generation of violinists. Treutler is in no way inferior; the pianist knows how to bring out the immeasurable richness of tone colours of the Steinway concert grand "Manfred Bürki" from 1901 to its best advantage.
