About

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy was the last great 19th century composer whose works were not completely listed. In the Mendelssohn anniversary year of 2009, this loophole was closed thanks to the publishing of the Leipzig Edition of the works Mendelssohn by the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig.

It was only in 2007/2008, as a result of research work, that the musical public first gained awareness of, among other pieces, 61 of a total of 115 songs composed for voice and piano.

The “forgotten” songs included in this CD date from throughout the composer’s entire creative period, and demonstrate superbly the many facets, colours and richness of ideas of his musical creations.

The songs have been combined with a completely different artistic genre, one which was Mendelssohn’s own: the songs without words - lyrical piano pieces with vocal style melodies.
