Founded in 1921, The Netherlands Bach Society is the oldest Early Music ensemble in the Netherlands, and possibly in the whole world. Yet along with the musicians, its artistic director Jos van Veldhoven is still continually in search of contemporary ways of presenting this music, whether it be the traditional performances of the St. Matthew Passion in Naarden, other works by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) or music by his predecessors, successors, contemporaries and fellow spirits.

This hybrid SACD is the third and last in a series of recordings by the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra and conductor Jan Willem de Vriend to feature all the five mature symphonies of Felix Mendelssohn. The two works presented here are the 4th Symphony, known as “The Italian”, and the 5th, which is nicknamed “The Reformation”.
