Mendelssohn’s final concerto ranks among the top violin concertos of all time, impeccably bridging Classical and Romantic styles. Violinist Maria Ioudenitch breathes new life into this perennial favourite. Bruckner’s symphonies are often called “Cathedrals of Sound” and his fantastic fifth is no exception, culminating one of the most triumphant finales ever composed. German conductor Constantin Trinks leads us on a spiritual journey of mystery and grandeur.

Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto

Long live freedom! In 1848, when Albert Lortzing wrote his impressive last opera "Regina", was a revolution. And that is exactly what the work, which Lortzing named after his wife, is about: Two politically active factory workers love Regina, the daughter of the factory owner Simon. But they belong to different camps. One of them, Stephan, is a radical rebel who occupies the factory and holds Regina in his power. However, she is engaged to the more peace-loving Richard. In the end, all their lives and the awakening harmony lie in Regina's hands. Lortzing's revolutionary opera was kept under lock and key and censored for a long time. Perhaps its time has now come once again: Time for peace and freedom.
