Henning Kraggerud Plays Mendelssohn and Kenneth Woods Conducts

Symphony No. 96 is popularly called the Miracle Symphony because it is said that, during its premiere, a chandelier crashed to the floor from the ceiling of the concert hall. The audience managed to dodge the chandelier, thus the nickname.

Haydn: Symphony No. 96, Miracle; Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor; Strauss: Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life)  .
