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. |

Enid Sutherland,
cellist, violist da gamba, and composer, earned undergraduate and
graduate degrees in cello and composition at the University of
Michigan. Her long career as a performer, teacher, and student of
historical performances practices has taken her on a musical journey
from the music of the Renaissance through that of the early
Romantics. She attracts students from all over the country to her
studio in Ann Arbor. In addition to her many solo performances, she
has performed with a number of ensembles, including the Ars Musica
Baroque Orchestra, the New Baroque Trio, Musicke of Sundrie Kindes,
the Oberlin Baroque Ensemble, the Ensemble for Early Music of New
York, Apollo’s Fire of Cleveland, Tafelmusik of Toronto, and the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Since 1990 she has been a member of the
Atlantis Trio (Jaap Schröder, violin, and Penelope Crawford, fortepiano), which has already
released the Complete Works of Schubert for Piano Trio on the Wildboar label. For Musica Omnia, the music for piano and chamber
ensemble by Felix Mendelssohn, piano quintets of Schubert and
Schumann, and piano trios of Fanny Mendelssohn, Robert & Clara
Schumann and Sigismond Thalberg have been recorded. As a composer,
Enid Sutherland has written numerous works in modern idioms for
small to medium mixed ensembles, solo pieces for various
instruments, two song cycles, duos for violin and cello, two
harpsichords, and harpsichord and piano, and one opera. She has
received several commissions, and her works have been performed
across the United States and in Europe. She has also been awarded
grants for her work from the Ford Motor Company, the University of
Michigan, and the American Music Center. |

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 - 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. |

Robert Schumann & Sigismond Thalberg |
|
|
Robert Schumann: Piano Quartet in E-Flat Major, Op. 47
Sigismond Thalberg: Piano Trio in A Major, Op. 69 |
|
|
The Atlantis Trio & Ensemble |
|
|
Robert Schumann’s Piano Quartet, like
its companion work, the Piano Quintet,
was created in 1842, an astonishingly
productive year devoted to chamber
music. A more classically oriented piece
than its sister-work, the quartet
combines transparency with Romantic
passion and emotional intensity. The
CD is completed with the rarely heard
A-Major Trio of Liszt’s rival, Sigismond
Thalberg. The members of the Atlantis
Trio & Ensemble perform both works
with their usual mastery. |
