'With baroque music as "flavour of the age", it seems only natural that we should rediscover - indeed reappraise - all that is neat, winsome and uncluttered in Mendelssohn's music, its slender forms and high level of invention. (...) Herreweghe's lively offering is best recommended to those whose main priority is a sense of period orchestral texture' Gramophone '...one of the lightest performances of the work that I have ever heard.'
