Mendelssohn is one of those composers who is in danger of being written off as 'charming' but doesn't deserve it. Some famous pieces like Mid Summer Night's Dream might fall into that category but his violin concerto sets him apart into very illustrious company.
The pieces we have selected to remix for this page are not in that class but he piano concerto is really quite dramatic and has responded quite exceptionally well to our steel drums and Mega Moog synthesizer. Pieces like this remind me of our debt to Emerson Lake and Palmer and his reinterpretation of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition. The Prelude and Fugue provides and interesting point of comparison with Bach and I think Bach comes out ahead.
Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words on the other hand risk the charming epithet but despite that I think they are little gems and they responded nicely to our percussion treatment.
