A child prodigy, Felix Mendelssohn is considered one of Europe's greatest composers. A virtuoso conductor and pianist, he was a respected all-round musician for whom Robert Schumann had great friendship and admiration. This boxed set offers a panorama of Mendelssohn's genius, from his masterpieces to lesser-known works performed by world-class musicians including Maxim Vengerov, Alban Berg Quartett, Kurt Masur (one of his successors at the helm of the Leipzig Gewandhaus), and Marie-Claire Alain, under whose hands we find here, for the first time on CD, a large set of Mendelssohn's organ works. This 40-CD great edition include all Mendelssohn's most important music. A collection of landmark recordings, it features numerous major performers and first releases on CD.
