About the Music

Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, in the second of his two weeks of programs, leads Mendelssohn’s Overture and Incidental Music to Shakespeare’s play A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Mendelssohn wrote the Overture when he was just seventeen, and incorporated it into a complete set of incidental pieces for Shakespeare’s play only much later. Gioachino Rossini “retired” from composing operas in 1829 as the greatest living opera composer. His sacred Stabat Mater (1841) is the most magnificent of his late-life works.
