Notes & Reviews:

A Jew who converted to Protestantism, Mendelssohn was a prolific composer of sacred music and made important studies of J.S Bach that were instrumental in the resurgence of interest in Bach's great oratorios during Mendelssohn's lifetime. One of the most gifted child prodigies of all time whose later works are just as remarkable as those of his youth. This 8 disc collection offers the listener an opportunity to discover more from the composer of Fingals Cave, the Violin Concerto, and the Italian Symphony.
