Synopsis

Album Description

Recorded live at the 2004 Stuttgart European Music Festival, this CD offers Mendelssohn?s two most popular symphonies in revelatory performances led by Roger Norrington, whose verbal introductions to both works are included in the recording. Following the global success of his earlier recordings of Beethoven and Berlioz on period instruments, Norrington demonstrates how a modern symphony orchestra can reconnect with its roots and embrace the traditions of the past. This recording received five stars and a "Recording of the Month" designation from German music magazine Fono Forum.
