Like Mozart, Félix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was a child prodigy and prolific composer who died of exhaustion before the age of forty. But along with Robert Schumann, he was also a member of the generation who came of age around the time of Beethoven's death (1827) and who would dominate the German music scene as performers, teachers, and composers until the middle of the century. As a conductor, Mendelssohn's memorable and historic performance of the St. Matthew Passion sparked the revival of Bach's music. The year was 1829; Mendelssohn was just twenty.
In 1833, he became Düsseldorf's music director, and in 1835, he went to Leipzig, where he made the Gewandhaus orchestra legendary. In 1840, Frederick William IV ascended the throne of Prussia. With the new monarch determined to turn Berlin into the cultural centre of Germany, he offered Mendelssohn the kingdom's highest musical post. Mendelssohn assumed his duties in 1841, but moved back to Leipzig in 1843 when the Berlin bureaucracy began to weigh him down. Upon his return, in addition to re-taking the reins of the Gewandhaus, he co-founded with Schumann a conservatory whose reputation would soon spread throughout Germany. Mendelssohn began to divide his time between conducting, giving chamber music recitals, teaching, and composing.
Tours also became increasingly frequent as his reputation grew. His last, to England in the spring of 1847, was particularly taxing, and news of his sister Fanny's death upon his return was a severe blow. He fell ill and died on November 4. He was 38 years old. If Mendelssohn's soul was Romantic, his heart was certainly Classical. Even in its most exuberant moments, his music retains a certain grace and transparency, well illustrated by the complete works for cello and piano on this recording.
