Information:
"Mendelssohn’s music (for cello and piano), including arrangements, fits snugly onto a single compact disc, yet only recently has it begun to receive anything like the attention it merits. ... This release of Mendelssohn serves as an excellent companion piece to [Antonio] Meneses and [ Gérard] Wyss’s warmly received disc of Schubert and Schumann (also for Avie), and is similarly played with great enthusiasm and affection. Highly recommended." – Ben Hogwood, ClassicalSource.com
Cellist Antonio Meneses and pianist Gérard Wyss shed new and refreshing light on the all-too-rarely heard music for cello and piano by early romantic pioneer Felix Mendelssohn – including Mendelssohn's transcriptions of his own songs for cello and piano.
