Mendelssohn: The Great Edition

[ Warner Classics / 40 CD Box Set ]

Release Date: Friday 16 February 2024

A child prodigy, Felix Mendelssohn is considered one of Europe's greatest composers. A virtuoso conductor and pianist, he was a respected all-round musician for whom Robert Schumann had great friendship and admiration. This boxed set offers a panorama of Mendelssohn's genius, from his masterpieces to lesser-known works performed by world-class musicians including Maxim Vengerov, Alban Berg Quartett, Kurt Masur (one of his successors at the helm of the Leipzig Gewandhaus), and Marie-Claire Alain, under whose hands we find here, for the first time on CD, a large set of Mendelssohn's organ works.

This 40-CD great edition includes all Mendelssohn's most important music. A collection of landmark recordings, it features numerous major performers and first releases on CD.

"Masur (knows) the scores inside out and how to make every note count, plus the Gewandhaus, Mendelssohn's old orchestra, plays with consummate dedication." (AllMusic.com)
