Digital Booklet

"Howard Shelley has been on a winning streak with his Mendelssohn odyssey and the penultimate volume lives up to previous ones in every respect. There are a directness, selflessness and unaffected authority to the playing that place the bar high for all future Mendelssohn intégrales … Hyperion’s recording quality is warm yet clear, and it would be hard to imagine more informative or authoritative notes than those supplied by R Larry Todd. The final volume is eagerly anticipated."
- Gramophone
Howard Shelley continues to overturn the conventional wisdom about Mendelssohn’s unjustly neglected piano music, again demonstrating convincingly its claims on our attention.
