MENDELSSOHN Oratorios & Symphonies / Andris Nelsons | Deutsche Grammophon

On their upcoming album, recent GRAMMY winner Andris Nelsons and the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig perform a compilation of Mendelssohn’s Oratorios and Symphonies.    

The album pays homage to Leipzig, the city at the core of Mendelssohn’s artistic identity. The release further marks the first full-length rendition of “Paulus,” a remarkably formative score that had so far been absent from the DG catalogue. Nelsons is joined by a stellar cast of soloists for the vocal works including Andrè Schuen, Golda Schultz and Georg Zeppenfeld. 

Listen to a third pre-release track, the moving Overture of Mendelssohn’s Paulus, Op. 36, Pt. 1. The full album is released digitally and as a 7CD Box Set on 27 March and is available for pre-order.
