Review by Terry Stump

Album Review: Ruy Blas Overture / The Hebrides Overture (Fingal's Cave) by Mendelssohn If you’re a fan of classical music with a touch of drama and soul-stirring melodies, then this album is worth your time. Performed by Sir Thomas Beecham and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, it’s got that lush Romantic vibe Mendelssohn is famous for. Released under Columbia in the US, this one feels like stepping into another world—one where emotions run deep and every note tells a story. Let’s talk tracks. First up, Ruy Blas - Overture. Man, this piece hits hard right from the start. It’s intense, almost like Mendelssohn wanted to grab you by the collar and say, “Hey, pay attention!” The orchestration is tight, and Beecham really knows how to bring out the energy here. You can practically picture some grand tragedy unfolding—like forbidden love or betrayal on a stormy night. I remember this track because it just doesn’t let go; it builds and builds until you’re completely swept away. Then there’s The Hebrides Overture (Fingal’s Cave), which is basically musical escapism at its finest. Close your eyes while listening, and boom—you’re standing on a rocky shore, waves crashing against ancient stones. Mendelssohn had a knack for painting pictures with sound, didn’t he? Beecham and the orchestra nail the ebb and flow of the sea here. There’s something hypnotic about the strings—they shimmer and swell like sunlight dancing on water. Honestly, I could loop this track all day without getting tired of it. What makes this album stand out isn’t just the music itself but also the way Beecham conducts. He’s got this flair, like he’s not just leading an orchestra—he’s telling a tale only he knows the ending to. And The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra? They play with such precision and passion that it feels alive. Like, seriously, these folks don’t just perform; they breathe the music. Now, here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Why don’t we hear more classical music in movies nowadays? Imagine pairing these overtures with modern visuals—it’d be epic! Anyway, if you’re looking to dip your toes into Mendelssohn’s genius or just need some classy background tunes, grab this album. Trust me, it’s a keeper.
