"It is difficult to think of Mendelssohn without being reminded of the extraordinary evocative power of his music, capable of conjuring up bright Italian sunshine, grey Scottish landscapes, and the magical world of fairies. He was a child prodigy and an outstanding composer, but he tends nevertheless to be neglected, compared to other members of his generation in the nineteenth century – to the detriment of his art, which is fascinating in so many ways.
With Les Ambassadeurs ~ La Grande Écurie, Alexis Kossenko embarks on a series of concerts and recordings devoted to Mendelssohn’s complete orchestral works, played on period instruments, with the forces that would have been used in his day, and also focusing on versions that we rarely have an opportunity to hear. For indeed, Mendelssohn was a great perfectionist, constantly dissatisfied with his own work, which he therefore revised to the extent that there are now often several versions of the same score. The first volume in this series is devoted to his Symphony no. 4, “Italian” (1834 version), and Symphony no. 5, “Reformation” – in fact his second in order of composition (written at age of twenty) and his first great symphony."
"Il est difficile d’évoquer Mendelssohn sans penser au formidable pouvoir que peut exercer sa musique sur l’imaginaire, convoquant à la fois le soleil d'Italie, la grisaille des brumes d’Écosse, et tout un monde de créatures, elfes, fées, sorcières ou mages. Enfant prodige, compositeur hors norme, il demeure cependant parfois dans l’ombre du reste de la génération 1810, au détriment de son art – à bien des égards, fascinant.
Avec Les Ambassadeurs ~ La Grande Écurie, Alexis Kossenko entreprend de rejouer et d'enregistrer l’œuvre orchestral de Mendelssohn, en recherchant non seulement instrumentarium, effectifs, dispositions d’époque, mais aussi en s’intéressant aux versions moins fréquemment honorées au disque ou au concert. En effet, Mendelssohn fut un grand insatisfait, et il laissa souvent plusieurs états d’une même partition. Le premier volume de cette série s’intéresse aux symphonies n° 4 « L’Italienne » (version 1834) et n° 5 « Réformation »… la deuxième chronologiquement, et la première de ses grandes symphonies, composée par un Mendelssohn de 20 ans !"
