Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 / Midsummer Night's Dream /

Mendelssohn: Symphony No. 4 / Midsummer Night's Dream / Schubert: Rosamunde

The Decca (Ernest) Ansermet Legacy, on eloquence continues to garner the highest plaudits from publications all around the world and the latest batch presents the maestro's recordings of four key Austro-German romantics: Schubert, Weber, Mendelssohn and Schumann. This 2-CD set brings together all of Ansermet's Mendelssohn and Schubert recordings for Decca Adopting clarity and muscularity over homogeneity, Ansermet's Mendelssohn has dalliance and grace, not to mention wit. The Schubert Rosamunde music is notable particularly for it's gorgeously cradled b-flat entr'acte as well as the ballet music no. 1, previously unpublished, possibly due to the limiting length of the LP side - the original LP coupling the Mendelssohn midsummer night's dream excerpts with Schubert's Rosamunde.
