As with the previous volumes, a reduced size CBSO join Gardner in Birmingham Townx92s Hall, where Mendelssohn himself conducted many of the UK premieres of his own orchestral works. The majority of works in the programme were written as concert overtures, spanning the length of Mendelssohnx92s career from the early Midsummer Nightx92s Dream composed when he was just 16 though to x91Ruy Blasx92 written towards the end of his lifetime. Two of these overtures were written as the opening movements of larger works: x91St Paulx92, his first great Oratorio from 1836, and his overture to x91Athaliex92, incidental music written for Racinex92s play. The Trumpet Overture is the earliest work here, written possibly to precede a performance of Handelx92s Israel in Egypt, and allegedly Mendelssohnx92s fatherx92s favourite piece!Mendelssohn In Birmingham, Volume 5Overture To 'Paulus', Op. 36Die Schxf6ne Melusine, Op. 32'Trumpet' Overture, Op. 101The Hebrides, Op. 26Overture To 'Athalie', Op. 74Ein Sommernachtstraum, Op. 21Meeresstille Und Glxfcckliche Fahrt, Op. 27Overture To 'Ruy Blas', Op. 95
