Revolutionary poet Arthur Rimbaud rocked the world of poetry with his Illuminations, which inspired Benjamin Britten to write a song cycle based upon the poems. Two other musical revolutionaries, Mendelssohn and Mozart, round out this program with pieces that changed music forever. Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto redefined the genre, while Mozart’s Jupiter symphony brought symphonic form to a new level. (Program Notes)
