Mendelssohn: Songs without Words

Search: No. 1. Andante espressivo in F
by: Daniel Barenboim

Release Date September 16, 1996
This is a lovely double CD set. Mendelssohn solo piano music is beautiful and very escapist. Although I am a classical buff myself, I am buying a second copy to give to my fashionable electric guitar playing mate who wants to get into classical but doesn't know what he'd like. I reckon this stuff is hard to dislike and very accessible to classical newbes. I also have no complaints about Barenboim's performance/interpretation of these works.

The Romantic Piano Concertos - 20

Search: No. 1. Andante espressivo in F
from: Hyperion

Release Date February 01, 1999
My favourite musical genre is the piano concerto and I am always keen to hear works new to me. I am particularly fond of romantic concertos, so I always buy any new additions to the Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto series. I had not heard any of Brull's work before buying this CD and I played it with keen anticipation only to feel somewhat disappointed by the end. In general the music seemed rather naïve and the melodic line repetitive and predictable, particularly in the first concerto (possibly to be expected, as Brull was only 14 when he wrote it). Over the next few weeks I listened to the CD a few times and it gradually grew on me. I now enjoy it greatly. The best piece is the Andante and Allegro, written when Brull was much older, followed ... Read More:

Mendelssohn: Complete Piano Music

Search: No. 1. Andante espressivo in F
from: Nimbus

Release Date August 23, 2003
This is a wonderful set of performances of, in some cases, some unjustly neglected works. Drama and tension, sensitivity and wistfulness are conjured by Martin Jones in vivid interpretations of Mendelssohn's piano works. The 'Nimbus sound', and the clarity of Jones' playing, creates a beautifully spontaneous 'feel'. There are some individual performances here to treasure; I recommend you buy the set (what a bargain it is) and find them for yourself
