"Mendelssohn and Howard Shelley are a musical marriage made in heaven. Stylish and delectably light-fingered … he makes it clear that Mendelssohn has a special place in his affections. Hyperion’s sound and presentation are as immaculate as ever."
- Gramophone
"Shelley has the ideal touch and tone for Mendelssohn: fleet-fingered, light and clear, with a fine balance between the energy and élan of this often very busy music and the clarity of its elegant melodic lines and supremely civilised phrasing. This match of performer and composer slides smoothly and smilingly into place from the start."
- BBC Music Magazine
Under-valued for a century and a half, the perfected joys of Mendelssohn’s music for solo piano are further unearthed in this third volume of our complete series from Howard Shelley where fascinating early works sit happily alongside Book 4 of the ‘Songs without words’ and the wonderful Caprices of opus 33.
