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.

He has long been engaged in research into violin literature of the 17th and 18th centuries and was one of the international pioneers in the founding of ensembles to perform in historically appropriate playing styles, notably with Quadro Amsterdam and Concerto Amsterdam.

Jaap Schröder, distinguished Dutch violinist and musical pedagogue, has enjoyed a multi-faceted career: quartet player, baroque violinist, soloist, conductor and teacher. He has long been engaged in research into violin literature of the 17th and 18th centuries and was one of the international pioneers in the founding of ensembles to perform in historically appropriate playing styles, notably with Quadro Amsterdam and Concerto Amsterdam. As a soloist, Mr. Schröder has recorded repertoire ranging from works by Biber, through the J. S. Bach solo suites and sonatas, to the complete violin cycle of Beethoven for such labels as Harmonia Mundi, Virgin Classics and Smithsonian. He has directed concerts and recordings on both sides of the Atlantic of such prestigious ensembles as the Academy of Ancient Music and the Smithsonian Chamber Orchestra. As a chamber musician he has founded several ensembles including the Smithson Quartet, Quartetto Esterhazy, and the Atlantis Trio & Atlantis Ensemble. His recordings have won many awards including a Grammy nomination. Mr. Schröder has taught on the faculties of the Yale School of Music and the Luxembourg Conservatory, and is frequently invited as a visiting performer-scholar to other universities and music conservatories in America and Europe.

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.

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.
