Piano Concertos Nos. 1, 2
Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Charles Dutoit & András Schiff
Piano Concertos Nos. 1 and 2 are piano concertos by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, completed in 1831 and 1837 respectively. Rooted in the early Romantic idiom, they combine lyrical, classically balanced structures with virtuosic piano writing and transparent orchestral textures, reflecting Mendelssohn's melding of classical forms with Romantic expression and representing early contributions to the 19th-century concerto repertoire.
