Crescendo magazine calls Thomas Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra’s Mendelssohn: Symphonies Nos. 1 & 3 survey “a fiery success”. The
“Symphony No. 1, composed at the age of 15, is carried away with panache by an energetic but always precise gesture supported by total flexibility. Symphony No. 3 is also a great success for its dramatic power and the quality of the performance. It is fundamentally the breath of romanticism that runs through this musical epic. …Superbly recorded, this album is a great success.”
