Bertrand Chamayou (piano) During his tragically short life, Felix Mendelssohn produced an extensive output of music covering every genre. Although he claimed that he took little pleasure in writing for the piano and felt that it was not an area of composition that he was particularly good at, the music itself has always retained a place in the affection of performers. After the sonatas of his early youth, he concentrated mostly on producing short pieces which could more readily be put together during the limited gaps in his busy professional life. The anthology selected for this recording by Bertrand Chamayou interweaves many of these shorter works with more substantial pieces, and includes some rarely performed music alongside established masterpieces like the “Songs without words “The Songs Without Words are among the least difficult of the pieces here technically, but the other pieces are much more demanding… It says much for Chamayou's virtuosity and artistry that he makes the results so magnetic.” Gramophone Magazine, October 2008 |
