LSO Live presents Sir John Eliot Gardiner’s award-winning Mendelssohn series together in its entirety for the first time. Captured over three seasons during critically-acclaimed concerts in the Barbican Hall, this box set offers listeners the definitive account of Gardiner’s unique take on Mendelssohn with the London Symphony Orchestra: a blend between the conductor’s wide-ranging expertise and the Orchestra’s signature sound.

The set includes celebrated interpretations of the complete Mendelssohn symphonies, as well as three of the composer’s most popular overtures and Gardiner’s landmark version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, all in 24bit high-resolution audio.

Reflecting on this exploration of the great German composer with the LSO, Gardiner said: ‘My admiration for Mendelssohn has gone up enormously as a result of this project… It’s so rewarding working with this group of players; they’re willing to go to the last nth degree, in terms of phrasing and articulation, and that’s a joy.’

“There is a convincing combination of sturdiness and sophistication in [Znaider’s] playing.” (Classical Source)

“Znaider reaches the height of his artistry as both conductor and virtuoso violinist.” (Radio Classique)

“These performances of Mozart’s fourth and fifth violin concertos are highly competitive, even in a crowded field.” (Classical CD Choice)
