Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.The Florestan Trio is firmly established as one of Britainu2019su2014indeed the worldu2019su2014most distinguished and remarkably talented ensembles, their Hyperion recordings of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms receiving universal praise. Here they turn their attention to Mendelssohnu2019s two late piano trios and the performances are fresh and exhilarating!rMendelssohn was without doubt the most precociously gifted composer the world has ever known: not even Mozart produced u2018matureu2019 masterpieces while still in his teens. He was also double prodigy on the violin and piano (Clara Schumann described him as u2018the dearest pianist of allu2019), an exceptional athlete, a talented poet (Goethe was a childhood friend and confidant), multi-linguist, watercolorist and philosopher. He excelled at virtually anything which could hold his attention for long enough, although it was music above all which activated his creative imagination. rThe well-known Op 49 in D minor and Op 66 in C minor represent the peak of Mendelssohnu2019s achievement in his relatively small output of chamber music; both trios are similar in structure and mood, beginning with a sombre and intense first movement, followed by a lyrical and melodic slow movement; the third movement is a fleeting and magical scherzo and ending with an energetic finale.
