Mendelssohn: Songs and Duets Vol 5
Anna Grevelius (mezzo-soprano) James Rutherford (baritone) Finnur Bjarnason (tenor) Hannah Morrison (soprano) Eugene Asti (piano)
[ Hyperion / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Tuesday 20 July 2010
Eugene Asti's pioneering Mendelsson Songs and Duets series, containing a large amount of first recordings and rarities, concludes with this fifth volume, a generous two CDs for the price of one. The contents range from Mendelssohn's first extant composition of any kind - a birthday song presented to his father by the precocious ten-year-old composer - to settings of the German romantic poets Schiller, Goethe and Eichendorff,which place Mendelssohn firmly in the canon of the great Lieder composers.
These works are performed by a talented group of young singers who will be familiar from other discs in the series, including the winner of the 2008 Kathleen Ferrier prize, Katherine Broderick.
'Eugene Asti plays with a refreshingly light touch and a lively sense of rhythm' (Gramophone)
'Hyperion's series of Mendelssohn's neglected vocal pieces continues to spread enchantment, thanks in part to young British talent. Katherine Broderick and Hannah Morrison, wonderfully clear and expressive sopranos, top the line-up gathered by Eugene Asti … genius is frequent and Mendelssohn's charm almost constant' (The Independent)
