Jörg Widmann and Felix Mendelssohn
For the composer, clarinettist and conductor Jörg Widmann, Felix Mendelssohn is one of the greats of music. In doing so, he sees parallels to his own work, through a common “joy for tempo, for instrumental colors, for rapid mood changes in a confined space”. You can now convince yourself of this artistic relationship.
