Wunderkind Felix

Robert Schumann described Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy as the Mozart of the 19th century, because he had mastered both piano playing and composing at a young age. With the album "Wunderkind Felix", conductor Patrick van der Linden and Ars Musica honor the early work of young Felix, who composed the pieces between the ages of 14 and 19. Ars Musica presents a new orchestration of the 1st Symphony for chamber orchestra. This is accompanied by the equally youthful String Symphony No. 10 and his Kyrie, performed by the choir and orchestra of Ars Musica. The cantata "Wer nur den lieben Gott lässt walten" and his Ave maris stella setting were composed by the 19-year-old Mendelssohn in 1828.
