Piano Concertos nos. 1 & 2

Album by Felix Mendelssohn & Murray Perahia & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 are two piano concertos by German composer Felix Mendelssohn, composed in 1830–1831 (No. 1) and 1837 (No. 2). They combine Classical forms with early-Romantic harmonic language and brisk, virtuosic piano writing alongside lyrical orchestral textures, illustrating Mendelssohn's role bridging the Classical and Romantic eras in the nineteenth-century concerto repertoire.
