Details
The OAE is much more than one of the world's pre-eminent period instrument ensembles. It works regularly with conductors who specialise in both early music and the modern repertoire, and has explored the work of composers from Bach to Mahler, Handel to Borodin. In this recration of a Gewandhaus programme of 1864 which follows the Mendelssohn study day, soloists of the OAE combine Mendelssohn's gloriousl exuberant Octet with Beethoven's most lyrical cello sonata (a favourite of Mendelssohn).
