Rafael Payare, conductor Augustin Hadelich, violin San Diego Symphony Orchestra MENDELSSOHN: "The Hebrides (Fingal’s Cave)," Op. 26 SIBELIUS: Violin Concerto in D minor, Op. 47 SCHUBERT: Symphony No. 9 in C Major, D 944, "The Great" From Schubert in the early 19th century to Sibelius 100 years later, the Romantic composers were fascinated by the strange and the exotic, by the unfamiliar and the otherworldly. Mendelssohn travelled to the remote Atlantic islands of Scotland, where he was inspired to write his Hebrides overture, mimicking the sound of the sea and the wailing of ancient bagpipes. In his violin concerto, Sibelius caught the incantations of Finnish folk music and the wailing of wind in the northern forests. And Schubert’s last and greatest symphony was considered so long and so strange by his contemporaries, it lay unperformed for years. Now it is one of the central works of Western classical music. As Robert Schumann wrote after its first performance: “This symphony opens an entirely new world to us, producing such an effect on us as none has produced since Beethoven”.
