Summary Riccardo Chailly's inaugural concert as Kapellmeister of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra capturing the full atmosphere of a unique musical occasion is a feast of Mendelssohn from the orchestra the composer founded. The concert includes an overwhelming performance of Mendelssohn's Second Symphony "Lobgesang" with its celebratory choral last movement in a new edition, as well as the ever-popular overture A Midsummer Night's Dream with outstanding vocal soloists including Anne Schwanewilms and Peter Seiffert. The Gewandhaus Orchestra can look back with pride today at a history of over 250 years.
