Complete String Symphonies
Festival Strings Lucerne
Achim Fiedler, conductor
While Mendelssohn’s “big” symphonies are an essential
part of the symphonic repertoire, his symphonies for
strings, the “youthful symphonies”, are only rarely
performed. Unbelievable what masterly music the
concert-goer is missing! The fact that these works
come from the pen of a 12 to 14 year old is historical
certainty, but as a listener one can hardly believe it.
The Festival Strings Lucerne now present a 3-CD
box with all 12 symphonies and the first movement
of the unfinished 13th symphony. Conductor Achim
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.
