Mendelssohn The Hebrides, Op.26 ‘Fingal’s Cave’
Mendelssohn Violin Concerto in E minor Op. 64
Schubert String Quartet No.14, D180 ‘Death and the Maiden’
Arranged by Mahler for string orchestra

Inspired by a visit to Scotland, and completed upon his return to Germany, Mendelssohn’s ‘Fingal’s Cave’ brilliantly evokes the power and wild beauty of the sea. His final large-scale orchestral work, the Violin Concerto in E minor, is a cornerstone of the classical repertoire and is regarded as one of the greatest and most popular. The concert concludes with Schubert’s Quartet in D minor which is based in part on his earlier song with words by German poet Matthias Claudius and gives this piece its common title, Death and the Maiden.
