This |:Mendelssohn:| concert follows on from the one in September '25, in which Kay Johannsen performed symphonically orchestrated church music by the master with his solistensensemble stimmkunst and the Stiftsphilharmonie Stuttgart. The Magnificat, a stroke of genius by the 13-year-old Felix, can now be heard with the same instrumentation, as well as works from the following period, in which Bach's legacy remains palpable, but which are also characterized by incredibly sensitive melodies and an unerring sense for convincing harmonic progressions. There is also drama again, particularly in the 114th Psalm with its gripping setting of the waves of water during Israel's exodus from Egypt.
