Title: Not Performed In The Proper Key!
Review: Hard to believe. The recording is more than a half tone below the score as written by Mendelssohn. I've checked my equipment (both CD player and instruments) and the conclusion is inescapable. A DDD recording would normally accurately reproduce the original performance. If that's true, it would mean that the entire work was transposed. Is it conceivable that the Edinburgh Festival Chorus would treat such a timeless work with such disdain? Doubtful. However it happened, if it matters to you that you hear the work in the written key, DON'T BUY THIS recording. There are others that are true to the composer.
