Mendelssohn

Symphonies Nos 1-3; Ruy Blas Overture

Mendelssohn in Birmingham, Volume 2: CBSO/Gardner

'Edward Gardner conducts these pieces with a satisfying blend of freedom and discipline. In some of Mendelssohn's more lyrical moments – notably the beautiful opening tune of the third movement of the Scottish Symphony – you need a metronome to judge his rhythmic flexibility, so naturally does he apply it.' Roger Nichols
