Beschrijving

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Edward Gardner

Edward Gardner and the CBSO present volume 2 in their series Mendelssohn in Birmingham, this time performing Symphonies Nos. 1 and 3 and the Overture Ruy Blas. The impressive first volume was roundly praised, IRR commending the ‘powerfully engaging and alert performances’ while the Sunday Times made it their ‘Album of the Week’.

Mendelssohn:
Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 11
Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 'Scottish'
Ruy Blas Overture, Op. 95

"Gardner conducts these pieces with a highly satisfying blend of freedom and discipline. In some of Mendelssohn's more lyrical moments...you need a metronome to judge his rhythmic flexibility, so naturally does he apply it...and throughout the disc the strings articulate with splendid vigour."
BBC Music Magazine - December 2014 *****
