梵志登的孟德爾遜

“The [Mendelssohn’s Hebrides] overture and [Scottish] symphony, both with plenty of outdoorsy energies, were marvels of visceral urgency, dramatic timing and elaborately nuanced dynamics.”
The Dallas Morning News

“Van Zweden delivered these two musical postcards with high romantic élan.” FrontRow

年青的孟德爾遜暢遊蘇格蘭時，寫下了兩首古今傳頌的名作。《赫布里底》描繪偏遠洞窟的奇景，孟德爾遜在寫給姐姐的明信片上草草潦下開端樂句，之後又匆匆完成餘下部份。「蘇格蘭」交響曲生氣勃勃，又注入了當地民族舞蹈、歌曲和高地風光。梵志登為這套節目配搭上艾爾加的聯篇歌曲《海的面貌》，並邀得女中音絲托汀為大家以歌聲演繹大海的不同面貌─太陽親過的、靜謐無語的、波濤洶湧的。
