Mendelssohn, Felix Mendelssohn - Venetian Gondola Songs [HL:51481172]

Felix Mendelssohn – Venetian Gondola Songs. Ed. U. Scheideler, R. Elvers, E. Herttrich Fing. H. Theopold, A. Groethuysen.

In autumn 1830 Mendelssohn Bartholdy visited Venice whilst on a great European tour and was intoxicated by his impressions. He said of the local gondoliers: “The gondoliers are now crying out to one another again, and the lights are reflected deep in the water; one is playing the guitar and singing. It is a merry night”. Perhaps it was with this in mind that Mendelssohn wrote four Venetian Gondola Songs between 1830 and 1841.
