Monthly Theme

Welcome to another year of ITYWLTMT, on Fridays, Tuesdays (on TalkClassical) and twice a month-ish (on OperaLively).

To start things off, I have prepared a set of posts under the theme “Mad For Mendelssohn”, where we plan on completing our Mendelssohn Symphony cycle (we already posted performances of the Scottish and Italian symphonies in 2012 and 2014, respectively), and provide some extras in the chamber music, piano solo and concertante departments. Here are some of the posts you can look forward to this month in our different series:

• January 2 – Mendelssohn: Symphonies 1 & 5. Performances of the two Mendelssohn “bookend” symphonies. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2015/01/felix-mendelssohn-symphonies-no-1-5.html
• January 9 – Mendelssohn & Mendelssohn: Trios. The two piano trios by Felix and the one trio by sister Fanny. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2015/01/mendelssohn-mendelssohn-trios.html
• January 16 – Mendelssohn: Lobgessang. Mendelssohn’s Second symphony, performed by the orchestra once led by Mendelssohn himself. http://itywltmt.blogspot.com/2015/01/felix-mendelssohn-lobgesang.html
