Challenge Classics is proud to present the final release in Jan Willem de Vriend's cycle of Mendelssohn's symphonies! The conductor's fresh, innovative approach to the classical/romantic repertoire is acclaimed by critics and audiences alike, and in the case of Mendelssohn, he comes to the recording session after deep musicological research on the composer's life and work.
