This is as fine a disc of Mendelssohn music as you are likely to find on the market today. Three of his most engaging and consistently enjoyable works are programmed together here, with stunning results. The Berlin players are in complete harmony with Karajan's vision of this music, and one wonders how these pieces could be played any other way. This is really the Berlin Philharmonic at their peak of the Karajan days.
