Piano Concertos 1 & 2 • Songs Without Words
Symbolic image – for the detailed description and condition, please read the Item Details below.
András Schiff, one of today's most thoughtful pianists, brings warmth and clarity to Mendelssohn's two piano concertos and the Songs Without Words. These concertos occupy a special place in the Romantic repertoire—more intimate than typical Romantic keyboard showpieces, filled with lyrical melody and structural sophistication. Schiff emphasizes melodic beauty over virtuosic display, with transparent accompaniment that supports rather than overwhelms. The Songs Without Words showcase Mendelssohn's gift for character sketches, each miniature possessing distinct personality and mood. Schiff plays them with genuine affection. This recording brings chamber music sensibility across multiple formats. A perfect introduction to Mendelssohn's gentler side and deeply rewarding for pianophiles.
