Volume 1 features Psalm 42—which the composer himself considered his masterpiece and which Schumann also praised highly—as well as Psalm 95 and the late Psalm 98, as well as a collection of chorale cantatas based on Lutheran chorales, allowing listeners to fully appreciate the essence of Mendelssohn’s sacred music, filled with deep prayer and joy. In addition to the outstanding ensemble performance by the Cologne Chamber Orchestra and the West German Radio Choir of Cologne, the participation of a stellar lineup of soloists—led by soprano Juliane Banse—adds significant appeal. While Mendelssohn is best known for his instrumental works, such as symphonies and songs without words, he was an extremely important figure in German Protestant music—as evidenced by his revival of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and his own extensive body of oratorios and psalm settings. This recording delves into the very heart of his musical legacy.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Naxos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419247468833,"sku":"4945604746403","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4945604746403.jpg?v=1788227583","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4945604746403","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
