This is the third recording in our Mendelssohn in Birmingham
series, with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and its
Principal Guest Conductor, Edward Gardner. The album features
Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage (Meeresstille und glückliche
Fahrt) and Symphony No. 2, completing our survey of
Mendelssohn's mature symphonies.
Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage is the second in a trilogy of concert overtures by Mendelssohn, the two
others being A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Hebrides, the latter recorded on Vol. 1 in this
Chandos series. Based on two poems by Goethe these sonorous images describe a ship helplessly
becalmed in the open sea, then carried by rising winds towards land. The densely textured, immensely
slow opening evocation of oceanic calm and the following quickening full-orchestral crescendo strikingly
depict Goethe's verses.
Symphony No. 2 was valued as one of Mendelssohn's greatest and most influential achievement for much
of the nineteenth century – not least in Britain – but it has since come to be viewed equivocally. A fusion
of neo-baroque procedures with romantic sentiment provides the backdrop of this hybrid Symphony-
Cantata, made up of three orchestral movements and a choral finale, in which smooth contrapuntal arias
contrast with exuberant, dramatic choral sections. The soloists are all emerging young artists in Britain,
the wonderfully talented soprano sisters Mary and Sophie Bevan and the tenor Benjamin Hulett.

Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage
Symphony No. 2 'Hymn of Praise'*
