Mendelssohn: Complete Piano Quartets
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) was one of the most extraordinary child prodigies in history. At age 15 he was declared by his teacher Carl Zelter a mature musician “in the brotherhood of Bach, Mozart and Haydn”. By that age he had already composed symphonies, choral works, Singspiele, 4 concertos, piano and organ works.
Mendelssohn wrote his 4 Piano Quartets (for piano and string trio) between 1821 and 1824 (between his 12th and 15th year..), forming his Opus 1, 2 and 3. Clearly modelled on Mozart’s Classical Style, they are vintage Mendelssohn: brilliant, virtuoso, containing clever counterpoint, strongly melodic both in the fast movements as in the slow movements (characteristic “Lieder ohne Worte”), the Scherzi foreshadowing his Sommernachtstraum music.
Played with fire and youthful enthusiasm, as well as tenderness and lyricism by pianist Matteo Fossi and Duccio Ceccanti, Edoardo Rosadini and Alice Gabiani.
Composer: Felix Mendelssohn
Artist: Quartetto Klimt
Early, little-known, free-spirited chamber works from music’s supreme teenage genius.
By the time Felix Mendelssohn composed his first three opus-numbered works he had a substantial catalogue of chamber, vocal and orchestral works to his credit - all at the age of 15! This trio of piano quartets predates the miraculous Octet for strings, yet each of them holds its distinct appeal. A fluent grasp of form and voicing can be taken for granted in one already thoroughly schooled in compositional technique. Mendelssohn was still finding his own voice, melodically speaking, while emerging from the shadow of Mozart’s and Beethoven’s, but these are already pieces with his fingerprints and no-one else’s, even in 1824, when Beethoven and Schubert were still alive.
Even the Opp. 1-3 are predated by another piano quartet, composed in 1821 by the 12-year-old Mendelssohn. He deemed it unfit for publication, but its relative brevity demonstrates that the teenage composer already had both the intuition and the talent to write within strict self-imposed boundaries: he does not waste notes, even in the finales which fizz with fun.
Outside complete box-sets of the composer’s music the Piano Quartets are rarely encountered on disc, making this fine new recording an even more attractive acquisition for Mendelssohn fans and enthusiasts for early-Romantic chamber rarities. Formed in 1995, the Quartetto Klimt is an Italian ensemble with an impressive record of appearances at prestigious festivals based at home and abroad and long experience of teaching at chamber-music centres such as Fiesole and Livorno. This album marks their debut on Brilliant Classics.

Fun fact: that album cover is an actual watercolour by Mendelssohn. View of Florence, dated 1830. If he wasn't writing music he could have moonlighted as a visual artist too.
Thank you, I was just wondering who made this beautiful painting 🥰
God bless you for sharing this very interesting fact, now we know more
Mendelssohn, one of the best!
Yes he is one of my favorites
O, how my music teacher was wrong about Mendelssohn, considering him a second rate composer, who tailored his music to sound like Mozart or Schubert! I didn’t discover the real Mendelsohn, besides his Midsummer overture, piano and violin concertos until later in my life. Thanks to TH-cam and Brilliant Classics, I was able to discover his quartets, trios and other intimate music pieces! Yes it is romantic, yet unique and different from other romantics. I wish many famous quartets would incorporate these Mendelssohn’s gems in their repertoire more often.
Mine was exactly the same and pushed me to Beethoven before I knew anything about the meaning behind living, love and loss. Result, big funk. Then I found the Liede Ohne Worte and he relented enough to let me learn several of them.
@stonefireice6058 -- Imagine Wagner's frustration upon hearing "Fingal's Cave"....He inverted the theme to create Walkürenritt......BRAVO from Acapulco!
Thank you all for sharing this beautiful music with the public!
He was a Genius who composed music since childhood like Mozart . Now these recordings do him justice . Thnks for posting .
Thannk you SO MUCH for posting these astonishingly good pieces by Mendelssohn - - abd olayed so magnificently.
Wonderful post. This type of classical music {piano quartets & concerto's} is what i think of as classic classical music. Great for intensely listening, reading by or even taking a nap too. A good all-rounder.
Beneficial for the soul!
As highly regarded as Mendelssohn is, he is still underrated. He is one of the greats.
His Midsummer, Violin and Piano concertos were always popular to the point, of overplayed. Maybe for that reason many serious musicians shunned Mendelssohn. Too bad, because there is an abundance of his compositions worthy of performing and audiences to enjoy.
so true he is in the class with mozart and many others
@@leeroger1471 Strange how attitudes change. When IWAL, people such as my father despised Mendelssohn and Tchaikovsky (you didn't even mention Wagner!); the snob jury was, I think, out even on Mozart. The champs were Beethoven, Bach, and Brahms.
@@mikelyle5011 I like ball the composers u named but it is a shame how some composers stood for right and some stood for wrong and some was highly misunderstood all there life and some composers was not recognized for there skills at all but it is a good thing TH-cam is here I can listen to unknown composers music anytime I choose.
@@leeroger1471 SO TRUE ........ 🧐
These are joyous right through. I would expect nothing less brilliant from the Klimt ensemble. Mendelssohn's death at 38 was tragic. With the volume of beautiful works he left behind him that have endured down the centuries one can only give thanks for the life he had. Also, his helping to reinstate J.S. Bach's works for us was among his many triumphs. Thank you to all concerned in putting this lovely recording together.
Da fängt man an zu träumen, toll, vielen Dank.
EXTRAORDINARIE, EXQUISITE , PRODIGIEUX, MERCI !!
Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser vier romantischen und fein oder perfekt komponierten Quartette im überzeugenden Tempo mit klar artikuliertem Klang des Klaviers, seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Violine, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich bemerkenswert. Alles ist wundervoll!

謝謝分享❤️，超棒的恩典🎵👍👏🙏
@@user-gh4gp3qe4t 我的榮幸
Una verdadera joya la obra a cuatro. Este compositor está entre los grandes románticos. Escuchar su música es un verdadero deleite.
Mendelssohn is just a genius, and his music gave a big effect to other composers. And I like his music because of 3 sources, Romantic, Endless Beauty, and Very new style that makes no one to compare about similar musics.
Gracias BC por tanta buena música
Divine music ❤
Wie gewohnt der übliche Quatsch.
Maravilloso !!! Para alimentar el alma !!! Muchas gracias 🌹🌹🌹
Delightful! Thank you.
Colossal.....after centuries.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
Mendelsshon siempre a sido para mi el compositor mas motivante, muchas gracias por compartir!

Magnífico...
Какие чудесные произведения - жаль, что они не так знамениты, как его же фортепианные трио 😊
Gloriously uplifting this harmonious music with
incredibly lyrical ADAGIOS in every quarter 💘👌🙏
Gracias
wonderfull
GREAT
Beautiful. The Allegro Molto Vivace (from 45:19 onwards) is my favorite part of this wonderful music.
Как хорошо!
These are the best Piano Quartets around.
I love it because classical music beats reggaeton, the music is the best :)
I listen to Baroque music 95% of the time, but this is a nice Romantic piece!
Mozart
노래 좋다.
穏やかに波打つ様に繰り返す水の迷妄は、
建築家に憧れた人が頓挫した後に見出す、夏の蜃気楼の様で、
詰まりは人生の本質と幸せを発見したる、と言う事なんです。

Now i guess the source of Chick corea's album The mad hatter.
A disappointing recording. What on earth motivated those weird pauses in the first movement of the first quartet? And the string playing in general lacks the necessary finesse. I recommend the recording by the Schubert Ensemble (which ironically was once on Brilliant) -- best thing they ever did.
Child prodigy but most of his later works didn't seems to match up !
Later than what? Matching to what?
Mendelssohn lived only 38 yrs, and after 15 all his works are works of a mature master.
Besides of Overture to Midsummer night and Symphony #3 ( Scottish), there are many masterpieces, such as Songs w/o words, Italian symphony, Piano and Violin concertos, etc. We often use a name “ Genius” without much reason, but Mendelssohn was a Genius.
@@stonefireice6058 Mendelssohn greatest achievement is to introduce the long loss J S Bach St Mathew Passion to the general public.
