The child Mendelssohn developed extraordinarily rapidly after progressing, apparently late in 1819, from imitative student exercises to composing his own music. Over the next two years he tackled increasingly ambitious large-scale works, including a number of string symphonies, a Singspiel, and his first concerto, in A minor for piano, written early in 1822. The Concerto for Violin and Strings in D minor followed later that year, and the Concerto for Violin and Piano, again in D minor, in the spring of 1823; the latter was also initially accompanied by strings only, but Mendelssohn later added parts for wind and timpani, in which version it is heard here. Even between these two concertos one can hear a striking advance in the young composer’s sense of originality and mastery.
The Violin Concerto draws on Classical-era models such as Mozart, but it is also influenced by French innovations in violin writing developed in Mendelssohn’s own time, and fully exploits the evolving techniques of new virtuosos. Among them was Eduard Rietz, Mendelssohn’s teacher, the work’s dedicatee, still a teenager himself and yet leader of the Berlin Court Orchestra. There is much dazzling filigree writing here but also some deeply expressive modulations which convey an emotional maturity far beyond what one could expect from a 13-year-old composer. Dating from six months later, the Double Concerto is an even more polished work, full of memorable melody, no less brilliant in its solo writing but astonishingly confident in its handling of material indebted to Bach, to Mozart and Beethoven and somehow none the worse for all that The Ukrainian violinist Solomiya Ivakhiv is now based in the US, where she works as both a soloist and a teacher, including Head of Strings at the University of Connecticut. She is fluently partnered here by Antonio Pompa-Baldi, who has performed and recorded much of the supremely challenging late-Romantic repertoire: a favorite performer at keyboard festivals such as Rarities of Piano Music in Husum, he is also a member of the piano faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

While thirteen is not actually as young as some of the earlier composers that he nods to here, these are extremely impressive works indeed! In fact, I'll go so far as to say that his waiting shows a maturity in the music's form that an earlier age may not have achieved. He went back and completed an earlier work too which shows that he could look back and critique himself accurately. The result is so beautiful! Wish we would recognize such great things in our young ones now.

[@catherinehegazi4440]

I'm impressed-especially due to only playing Mendelssohn's songs without words.

[@canman5060]

Highly recommended Felix Mendelssohn' sister Fanny Songs without Words. They are more mature works compare to her younger more welknown brother.

@@canman5060 i looked up fanny and how they were so close and how she died so young-i'm not sure i want to spend sooo much practice time due to such technique deficits on ny part i tried to find some book to buy but need to get through my NCCAOM board review! You were very kind to share...txs

Das Violinkonzert ist eine wunderschöne Interpretation dieses romantischen und jugendlichen Meisterwerks mit seidigem Ton der genialen Solovioline sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Streichinstrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Das Doppelkonzert ist auch eine wunderschöne Interpretation dieses romantischen und fein komponierten Meisterwerks mit seidegem Ton der genialen Solovioline und klarem Klang des ebenso genialen Soloklaviers sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der erfahrene und intelligente Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im gut betrachteten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wundervoll!
