Mendelssohn was a leader in making music central to the cultural life of the newly unified German nation. He believed strongly that music-making was for everyone, which is perhaps why his music was sneered at as beinggood only for amateurs. Furthermore, he loved the British amateur choral tradition and wrote his oratorios for Birmingham.

Philharmonic in 1990, since when he has appeared with many European orchestras under many distinguished conductors, including Andre Previn , Paavo Berglund and Libor Pesek. Last year he made his first appearance with both the BBC
Scottish Symphony Orchestra and the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra. He has given solo recitals at major European festivals, including Salzburg and Aldeburgh, and is an experienced chamber musician who has performed frequently at London's Wigmore Hall.
