“Mendelssohn Perspectives” illuminates the music of Mendelssohn’s predecessors and heirs, set around the composer’s signature Lieder ohne Worte. Beethoven’s dramatic Kreutzer Sonata was a recital specialty of Mendelssohn the chamber musician. Brahms’s Second Piano Quartet represents the latter half of the Romantic journey begun by Beethoven and propelled by Mendelssohn. The thrilling Piano Trio of the renowned American composer Pierre Jalbert gives voice in our own time to the Mendelssohnian ideal of expressive pathos combined with impeccable design.
