"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 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".
"Ugens album: På Ugens Album kan du høre Mendelssohns symfonier live, indspillet af Det Europæiske Kammerorkester ... Gennemsigtighed og elegance får man med ... dirigenten Yannick Nézet-Séguin".
"Det er et yderst anbefalelsesværdigt sæt, DGG her har sendt på markedet, og vil for mange læsere være en kærkommen anledning til at sætte sig ind i Mendelssohns skønne symfoniske verden".
"Recording of the month, Editor's choice: Séguin approaches the symphonies of Mendelssohn with an exploratory mind and deep care for colour, the COE responding with brilliance throughout this impressive set ... For anyone wanting a complete set of the symphonies in the lean, lithe modern mould ... Nézet-Séguin's imaginative, fabulously executed performances guarantee abiding pleasure".
