Synopsis

Album Description
Following the global success of his earlier recordings of Beethoven and Berlioz, Sir Roger Norrington leads his Stuttgart ensemble on a voyage of discovery into the works of Felix Mendelssohn. Norrington and the SWR play with the "pure tone" so talked about by the old masters, before the arrival of 20th century vibrato. These recordings give the opportunity to hear how a modern symphony orchestra can reconnect with its roots and embrace the traditions of the past. Recorded live at the 2004 Stuttgart European Musical Festival with the conductor?s spoken introductions to the concert in English.
