In 1820 Schubert began to create a new voice in the realm of the string quartet, with the
unfinished Quartettsatz (Quartet movement) in C minor, D. 703. Just eight years later
he completed his chamber masterpiece: the sublime String Quintet in C major, D. 956.
Within six weeks of offering the work to a publisher he was dead. This CD inaugurates a
four-volume survey of Schubert’s later quartets and quintet, performed by the Skálholt
Quartet of Iceland, led by legendary Dutch violinist, Jaap Schröder. |

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. |

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. |

Felix Mendelssohn and Carl Friedrich Zelter |
|
|
Des Madchens Klage - Mendelssohn & Zelter Lieder |
|
|
Andrea Folan (soprano); Tom Beghin (fortepiano) |
|
|
Carl Friedrich Zelter (1758-1832) was one of the most important formative influences on
his young protégé, Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847), exemplified by his handing the young
prodigy the responsibility for reviving Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in 1829 – a watershed
event. Both Zelter and Mendelssohn added greatly to the Lieder repertoire, setting texts by
the great poets of the day. Soprano Andrea Folan and fortepianist Tom Beghin provide a
comprehensive view of their world of song. |

|
Beethoven: The Last Piano Sonatas |
|
|
Penelope Crawford, fortepiano |
|
|
Beethoven’s piano sonatas op. 109-111 represent the composer’s farewell to a genre that was
transformed by his thirty-two contributions to it, culminating in the otherworldly C minor
sonata, op. 111. Fortepianist Penelope Crawford presents these three profound works with
unique insight and sympathy, enhanced by her use of a magnificent original fortepiano,
similar to one owned by Beethoven, by the great Viennese maker, Conrad Graf. |

|
|
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. |
