Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage is the second in a trilogy of concert overtures by Mendelssohn, the two others being A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Hebrides, the latter recorded on Vol. 1 in this Chandos series. Based on two poems by Goethe these sonorous images describe a ship helplessly becalmed in the open sea, then carried by rising winds towards land. The densely textured, immensely slow opening evocation of oceanic calm and the following quickening full-orchestral crescendo strikingly depict Goethe’s verses.
Symphony No. 2 was valued as one of Mendelssohn’s greatest and most influential achievement for much of the nineteenth century – not least in Britain – but it has since come to be viewed equivocally. A fusion of neo-baroque procedures with romantic sentiment provides the backdrop of this hybrid Symphony-Cantata, made up of three orchestral movements and a choral finale, in which smooth contrapuntal arias contrast with exuberant, dramatic choral sections. The soloists are all emerging young artists in Britain, the wonderfully talented soprano sisters Mary and Sophie Bevan and the tenor Benjamin Hulett.
"Gardner conjures up something akin to a serenely unruffled Turner seascape coaxing a sonorous luminosity from the splendid CBSO strings Indeed, the radiance and natural perspectives of Chandos’s engineering capture the stasis of the passage in a way that’s utterly mesmerizing in its effect, abetted in part by the warm acoustics of Birmingham Town Hall This is in very sense an unreservedly absorbing account, exceptionally well played and directed with admirable facility and understanding by Gardner. I’d go as far as to say that I’d happily pay he price of this recording just to acquire this unusually touching and masterful performance of Meeresstille und glückliche Fährt …" (Michael Jameson, International Record Review)
