The new volume in the Mendelssohn Symphony series on CD is accompanied by a nice video in which Jan Willem de Vriend asks the important question 'Where is Mendelssohn?'
Here you can whatch the video

The new CD just has been released, in the winter of 2014, and in the popular TV show De Wereld Draait Door on Dutch television, Jan Willem de Vriend has been a true advocate already for Mendelssohn.

Watch it here.

However, in the video that we have filmed behind the scenes of the recording of the Mendelssohn Symphony series, Jan Willem de Vriend goes even further: why do conductors usually pick a Symphony of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and seem to forget about the masterly composer Mendelssohn?
Jan Willem de Vriend and his orchestra did not forget about Mendelssohn. They have become quite the Mendelssohn-specialists!
