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 indentity. 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 first pre-release track of the second movement of Mendelssohn’s Symphony No.3 in A Minor, Op. 56. The full album is released digitally and as a 7CD Box Set on 27 March and is now available for pre-order.
