Mendelssohn Even More Complete!

Containing 24 works on 3-CDs, this set must be the most complete of all claiming completeness in Mendelssohn’s organ works (a close contender is John Scott’s fine 2-CD set containing 16 works). Based on the complete works published by Bärenreiter in 1993-‘94 (also available from OHS), it includes recently discovered works. The multi-talented French virtuoso Jean-Baptiste Robin plays three Gottfried Silbermann organs in Rötha and Freiberg and the Johann Andreas Engelhardt organ (1845) in Herzberg-am-Harz. The excellent booklet includes notes on each work, an essay on the organs, their relevance to Mendelssohn, and their stoplists.
