Synopsis

Product Description
This hybrid SACD of chamber music by Mendelssohn features compositions from the composer's youth. In these works, glittering echoes of A Midsummer Night's Dream are deftly blended with avant-garde declamations reminiscent of the recently-deceased Beethoven. The works featured here aptly demonstrate the precocious genius of a musician described by Schumann as, 'The Mozart of the 19th century . . . he is the brightest composer of the age and he comprehends, with finest humor, the contradictions of our time more clearly than anyone, so that he is the first to reconcile them.'
