Music reviews of Mendelssohn: Piano Sextet, Op. 110; Piano Quartet No. 1
Music Review: Wow!
Rating: 5 Stars
I stumbled upon this CD while looking for some Mendelssohn to feed my classical collection. The Piano Sextet is breathtaking. I lack the musical vocabulary to describe in technical terms why all four movements of this work are so entertaining. Instead, I can analogize it to Mendelssohn's Italian Symphony or his Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66 (at least the version performed by Tal and Groethuysen)-- two works that come at you like a steam locomotive, sweeping you up and taking you on a ride you do not want to end. This work alone-- which is almost thirty minutes long-- is worth twice the price of the CD. (The Piano Quartet is ok, but more often than not I listen only to the Sextet.)
The Bartholdy Piano Quartet and the musicians who sit in for the recording are, to my untrained but not unsophisticated ear, flawless, playing with the precision and transparency of a Breguet watch with a see through back that makes listening to great small ensembles such a pleasure. No doubt, for most purchasers, they will have the added thrill of listening to a great piece that they have in all likelihood never heard before.
