There is certainly no shortage of recordings of these two popular Mendelssohn symphonies, but the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and its mop-top young conductor Maxim Emelyanychev deliver worthwhile alternatives on this 2023 release, which made classical best-seller lists in the autumn of that year. Mendelssohn works especially well at a moderate orchestra size like Emelyanychev's 50 players, stripping some of the philosophical ponderousness from the Symphony No. 5 in D major/D minor, Op. 107 ("Reformation"), and derailing the temptation of an over-the-top finale of the Symphony No. 3 in A minor, Op. 56 ("Scottish"). Instead, Emelyanychev forges a crisp sound, with an avoidance of vibrato, perhaps inspired by the historical performance movement. He brings out a lot of Mendelssohn's beautiful wind writing, elsewhere sometimes hidden among thundering strings. The "Reformation" symphony is arguably the more successful of the two, striking a quiet, reverent note in this work that not only quotes Lutheran chorales but also evokes Renaissance polyphony. The work comes across as a meditative reflection on the development of Protestant spirituality in music. Linn's sound from Caird Hall in Dundee is excellent in this distinctive Mendelssohn release.
