As 2009 is among other things a Mendelssohn year (it's also a Haendel, Purcell, and Haydn year), the BBC has hired friend of Opera Chic Jessica Duchen to blog about old Felix.
This is her first post of the year:
"Were Mendelssohn's parents classic prodigy-pushers? For once, the answer appears to be 'no'."
Kudos to Jess!
p.s.: Purcell will be blogged by the Superfreak Rick "I'm Rick Jones, Bitch!" Jones.
