Mendelssohn: The Great Edition [CD]

Genre: Classical · Label: Warner Classics · Format: CD · Edition year: 2024 <p>A child prodigy, Felix Mendelssohn is considered one of Europe's greatest composers. A virtuoso conductor and pianist, he was a respected all-round musician for whom Robert Schumann had great friendship and admiration. This boxed set offers a panorama of Mendelssohn's genius, from his masterpieces to lesser-known works performed by world-class musicians including Maxim Vengerov, Alban Berg Quartett, Kurt Masur (one of his successors at the helm of the Leipzig Gewandhaus), and Marie-Claire Alain, under whose hands we find here, for the first time on CD, a large set of Mendelssohn's organ works. This 40-CD great edition include all Mendelssohn's most important music. A collection of landmark recordings, it features numerous major performers and first releases on CD.</p> <div data-bt-autogen> <p><strong>Tracklist:</strong></p> <ol> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 1 Andante con moto, MWV U86</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 2 Andante espressivo, MWV U80</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 3 Molto allegro e vivace, MWV U89 'Hunting Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 4 Moderato, MWV U73</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 5 Poco agitato, MWV U90</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book I, Op. 19b~No. 6 Andante sostenuto, MWV U78 "Venetian Gondola Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 1 Andante espressivo, MWV U103</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 2 Allegro di molto, MWV U77</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 3 Adagio non troppo, MWV U104</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 4 Agitato con fuoco, MWV U98</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 5 Andante grazioso, MWV U97</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book II, Op. 30~No. 6 Allegretto tranquillo, MWV U110 "Venetian Boat Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 1 Con moto, MWV U121</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 2 Allegro non troppo, MWV U115</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 3 Presto e molto vivace, MWV U107</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 4 Andante, MWV U120</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 5 Agitato, MWV U137</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book III, Op. 38~No. 6 Andante con moto, MWV U119 "Duetto"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 1 Andante con moto, MWV U143</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 2 Allegro non troppo, MWV U109</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 3 Presto agitato, MWV U144</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 4 Adagio, MWV U114</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 5 Allegro con fuoco, MWV U153 "Folksong"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book IV, Op. 53~No. 6 Molto allegro vivace, MWV U154</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 1 Andante espressivo, MWV U185</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 2 Allegro con fuoco, MWV U181</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 3 Andante maestoso, MWV U177 "Trauermarsch"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 4 Allegro con anima, MWV U175</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 5 Andante con moto, MWV U151 "Venetian Boat Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book V, Op. 62~No. 6 Allegretto grazioso, MWV U161 "Spring Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 1 Andante, MWV U180</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 2 Allegro leggiero, MWV U145</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 3 Andante tranquillo, MWV U102</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 4 Presto, MWV U182 "Spinner's Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 5 Moderato, MWV U184</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VI, Op. 67~No. 6 Allegro non troppo, MWV U188 'Cradle Song"</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 1 Andante espressivo, MWV U150</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 2 Allegro agitato, MWV U101</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 3 Presto, MWV U111</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 4 Andante sostenuto, MWV U192</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 5 Allegretto, MWV U191</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VII, Op. 85~No. 6 Allegretto con moto, MWV U155</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 1 Andante un poco agitato, MWV U162</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 2 Adagio, MWV U190</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 3 Presto, MWV U195</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 4 Un poco agitato ma andante, MWV U152</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 5 Allegro vivace, MWV U194</li> <li>Songs Without Words, Book VIII, Op. 102~No. 6 Andante, MWV U172</li> <li>Albumblatt in E minor, Op. 117, MWV U134</li> <li>Gondellied in A major, WoO 10, MWV U136</li> <li>2 Klavierstücke, WoO19~No. 1 Andante cantabile, MWV U93</li> <li>2 Klavierstücke, WoO19~No. 2 Presto agitato, MWV U94</li> <li>Rondo capriccioso in E major, Op. 14, MWV U67</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Theme</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variation I</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variations II-V</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variations VI-X</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variations XI-XII</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variation XIII</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variations XIV-XV</li> <li>Variations sérieuses, Op. 54, MWV U156~Variations XVI-XVII</li> <li>Fantasie in F-sharp minor, Op. 28, MWV U92 "Sonate écossaise"~I.
