They shared and commented on each other’s compositions, each highly appreciative of the other but also offering frank, critical advice. Their travels produced some great music – Felix’s best loved works, the Hebrides Overture and the Scottish Symphony, were inspired by his 1829 visit to Scotland, whilst Fanny’s innovative piano cycle Das Jahr was a musical response to the tour of Italy she made in 1839–40. Combining letters and sketches with an accompanying narrative describing their journeys, this is a wonderful celebration of the two Mendelssohns and a portrait of Scotland and Italy of the time as seen through the eyes of two of the Romantic movement’s most acclaimed composers.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 246mmItem Length: 189mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 598gRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
