I was nosing around the Hyperion site and came across this:

EDIT: Image replaced and reduced - apparently Hyperion didn't like my linking to their image. Strange - here I am giving them free publicity and they aren't cooperating. :-) Replacement tiny image is from iTunes.

I don't know how many other recordings of this concerto I already have, but I gotta have this one too, especially since it will be available as a 24/96 download, and despite the participation of the HIP orchestra. Jurowski is also one of my favorite younger conductors. There are some samples of this disc already available on the Hyperion site, and the fast movements of the Mendelssohn do indeed seem. . . fast (as befits HIP orthodoxy!).
