Felix Mendelssohn: Symphonies & Oratorios on CD

Paying homage to Leipzig and the Gewandhausorchester, the city and ensemble at the core of Felix Mendelssohn's artistic identity, Andris Nelsons presents a compilation of the composer's Oratorios and Symphonies. Deutsche Grammophon proudly notes that this release marks the first full-length rendition of "Paulus," a remarkably formative score that had so far been absent from the Yellow Label's expansive catalog. Nelsons is joined by a stellar cast of soloists for the vocal works, and bolstered by the incredible musicians of the Gewandhausorchester, for whom he serves as Music Director, for fresh interpretations of the Symphonies. 7-CD box set in Capbox packaging.
