Mendelssohn's childhood precocity as a composer is regarded by many as exceeding that of Mozart - the works recorded here retain much of that sense of youthful inspiration and vitality. The 'Italian' Symphony is filled with warm lyrical charm reflecting a visit the composer made to Italy in 1830. From its solemn opening to a jubilant coda, the expressive world of the 'Reformation' Symphony derives largely from a dramatic use of famous hymn tunes.
