With his hallmark recordings of the complete oratorios and choral works, the German conductor and Kammerchor Stuttgart founder and director Frieder Bernius long ago staked a claim for consideration as one of the world’s foremost Mendelssohn experts. Bernius’ highly praised recent recordings of three of the composer’s incidental music compositions are now published for the first time in boxed form.  Price: $48.98 |
