About

Mendelssohn’s symphonies for strings, the “youthful symphonies”, are only rarely performed. It is hard to believe that the composer wrote these works between the ages of 12 and 14. Fiedler has studied the autographs in detail and corrected individual textual errors in the printed editions, as well as textual inconsistencies in the available editions.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

December 2014

Mendelssohn's thirteen string symphonies, written between the ages of 12 and 24 as composition exercises, are not often performed; but as this set from the Lucerne Festival Strings under Achim Fiedler shows, they are delightful works in their own right, which it would be a mistake (and a loss) to disregard.
