Mendelssohn: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 4 - Widmann: Ad absurdum
Sheet Music

SKU: NX.ORF-C914161A

By Irish Chamber Orchestra, Jorg Widmann, and Sergei Nakariakov. By Felix Bartholdy Mendelssohn and Jorg Widmann. Classical. Listening CD. Published by Orfeo (NX.ORF-C914161A).

This release fulfills a modern fascination with complete recordings, especially of symphonic cycles. The quality of Mendelssohn's symphonies, combined with their astonishing obscurity, makes them an extremely appealing release. The multi-talented Jorg Widmann joines this new release not only as an instrumentalist and conductor but as a "composer colleague" of Mendelssohn, making this project all the more astounding. ORFEO is delighted to present not just a first-class soloist, Sergei Nakariakov, on this album but also a work written especially for him by the Artistic Director of the project, namely Jorg Widmann's Ad Absurdam.
