Paavo J盲rvi</h2> <div class="post-date"> 20.03.2024 </div> <div class="entry-content news-article"> <strong><img alt="" src="/failid/Image/mendelssohn-cd-webbilder-1300x731_1300x731.jpg" style="width:100%" /><br /> <br /> The Tonhalle-Orchester Z眉rich, conducted by Paavo J盲rvi, released a four-disc set on Alpha Classics with recordings of all Mendelssohn's symphonies as well as the Sommernachtstraum (A Midsummer Night's Dream). The first recordings were made in the spring of 2021 during the pandemic, in the interim venue Tonhalle Maag. The last recordings were made in January 2023 in the magnificently renovated historic Tonhalle Z眉rich.</strong><br /> <br /> "I don't think Mendelssohn gets the attention he deserves," said Paavo J盲rvi at the start of the 2020–2021 season. Faced with this observation, he undertook to record a complete cycle of Mendelssohn's orchestral works with the Z眉rich Tonhalle Orchestra for his second season as Music Director.<br /> <br /> It was no easy task for the recording team led by producer Philip Traugott: the acoustics of the two halls are different, and the live character of the recordings was not the same either. Four symphonies and <em>A Midsummer Night's Dream</em> were recorded under strict distancing rules. The recording of the symphonic cantata <em>Lobgesang</em> (officially counted as Symphony No. 2), on the other hand, had to be postponed until it was once again possible to include a choir. In a review of this performance – in which the Z眉rcher Sing-Akademie, tenor Patrick Grahl, and sopranos Chen Reiss and Marie Henriette Reinhold took part - the NZZ wrote of &bdquo;overwhelming splendor“.<br /> <br /> The recordings of this Zurich Mendelssohn cycle have never been released individually; the 4-CD box set now presents the project as a whole. &bdquo;Recording his works is like a dream come true for me“, says Paavo J盲rvi. &bdquo;A midsummer night's dream come true, so to speak.“<br /> <br /> Recordings are available in stores, for example from Hochuli or Musik Hug, and via streaming on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1DnmLpRjBG22owb95YCKiT?si=E0C3bq8eTu6PYj1UiyL3Og"><strong>Spotify</strong></a>.<br /> <br /> This recording was supported by the Hans Imholz Foundation.<br /> <br /> More info: <strong><a href="https://www.tonhalle-orchester.ch/en/news/mendelssohn-auf-cd/">Tonhalle Orchestra</a></strong><br />   <div> <a class="resp-sharing-button__link"
