This album showcases Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s complete string symphonies, written between the ages of 11 and 15. These works demonstrate Mendelssohn’s extraordinary talent as a young composer, blending influences from Mozart, Haydn, and Bach with his emerging personal style. Each symphony highlights his technical skill, rich imagination, and melodic invention, ranging from early, imitative works to more mature and sophisticated compositions.

Performed by the Nieuw Sinfonietta Amsterdam under the direction of Lev Markiz, the recordings emphasize the elegance and charm of Mendelssohn's youthful masterpieces, capturing both their historical importance and enduring appeal in the chamber music repertoire.
