Thomas Fey and the Heidelberger Sinfoniker present the first volume of what will become the definitive Mendelssohn cycle of the new century! Thomas Fey has been a long-term advocate of the orchestral music of Mendelssohn – a composer he understands. These performances capture the brilliance and fire of the young composer’s imagination at its most luminous. Utilizing the full range of the Heidelberg ensemble’s unique sound, Maestro Fey has assembled several rare and fascinating ALTERNATE versions of Mendelssohn’s String Symphonies that the composer himself later orchestrated. This program has NO competition in the current catalogue of classical music releases!

Thomas Fey’s repertoire ranges from Bach to Brahms. His interpretations focus on the symphonies and solo concertos of Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven. He also likes to devote himself to the music of George Frederick Handel, the overtures of Rossini and the great waltzes of Johann Strauß.
