Le songe d'un nuit d'été. A midsummer night's dream
Description
To mix metaphors, Sir John Eliot Gardiner has the knack of going for the jugular when exposing the nerve-ends of most music, particularly so in the case of Mendelssohn. He was at it again, whacking elfin grace into the long grass and focusing on volatile energy, in the LSO's and Barbican Centre's continuing Shakespeare series, it being 400 years since he died.
