"With this sixth volume we reach the end of Howard Shelley’s journey through Mendelssohn’s solo piano music. And what a fascinating experience it has been. He’s the kind of artist … who’s a natural completist, able to reveal inspiration in even the most obscure corners, and as with previous releases, there are some striking discoveries. The care he takes over everything is a Shelley trademark—just sample how, in the opening Albumblatt, Op 117, he colours the move from churning minor to major. The disc is expertly programmed, too, so that there’s plenty of contrast (but not joltingly so) between tracks … the notes are by the Mendelssohn expert of our day, R Larry Todd, and Shelley is beautifully recorded, too."
- Gramophone
Howard Shelley’s survey of the piano music is an undoubted highlight of the Mendelssohn revival. In this, the final instalment of the series, he focuses on late works and posthumous publications.
