FELIX MENDELSSOHN

 

THE YOUNG FELIX MENDELSSOHN

 

The Atlantis Ensemble - Jaap Schröder

 

Conventional wisdom has it that Felix Mendelssohn came into his own as a composer at the age of 16 in 1825, with the composition of his string Octet and the Overture to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. This release, the final volume of the Atlantis Ensemble’s Mendelssohn 2009 project, reveals the lesser-known riches among the works written by young Felix in the years immediately preceding, 1822-1824. Jaap Schröder and his colleagues take us directly into the prosperous Mendelssohn household of the 1820s, a remarkable environment that nurtured young Felix, the prodigy.

Franz Schubert  
Winterreise, D.911  
Max van Egmond (baritone) & Penelope Crawford (fortepiano)  
This is, by general consent, the greatest of all Lieder cycles, and the second that Schubert based on Müller’s poems. Max van Egmond and Penelope Crawford here present a profoundly moving performance, enhanced by the use of an original 1835 fortepiano by the great Viennese maker, Conrad Graf.

Ludwig van Beethoven  
Piano Trio, Op. 1, No. 3; Symphony No. 2 in D Major, Op. 36  
The Atlantis Trio - Penelope Crawford (fortepiano), Jaap Schröder (violin), Enid Sutherland (cello)  
Beethoven arrived in Vienna in 1792 to undertake studies with Joseph Haydn. His first published works were a set of three piano trios, Opus 1, of which the third, in C minor revealed the new and dramatic aesthetic that Beethoven would further develop during the next thirty-five years of his residency in Vienna. That trio is presented here along with Beethoven’s own piano trio arrangement of his Second Symphony in D major, Op. 36 and the Allegretto in B-flat major, WoO 39. The Atlantis Trio provides masterful interpretations on instruments of Beethoven’s period.

Franz Schubert (1797-1827)  
Franz Schubert - Piano Trios, Op. 99 & 100  
The Atlantis Ensemble - Penelope Crawford (fortepiano), Jaap Schröder (violin), Enid Sutherland (cello)  
Schubert’s two piano trios are among the crowning achievements of early 19th century chamber music. They date from the final two years of the composer’s short life and inspired similar compositions for the same ensemble by Mendelssohn and Schumann. In this newly re-mastered release of their celebrated recording, the Atlantis Trio provides benchmark performances on instruments of the period.
