Mendelssohn in his late 20s was traveling Europe, and he pit-stopped in Italy. He loved the country so much that he didn't leave until 2 years later. During that time, he absorbed the extroverted Italian character, its carnival's colored insanity and its warm loving soul. I was curious to see how a Finnish orchestra would do in conveying all of this, and I must say I wasn't disappointed at all :-)
