Mendelssohn

Young pianist Jan Lisiecki explores a pair of early Romantic masterpieces with the acclaimed Orpheus Chamber Orchestra: Mendelssohn's Piano Concertos in G minor and D minor. Wishing to give listeners further insight into Mendelssohn's dazzling keyboard writing beyond the well-known concertos, Lisiecki also performs a selection of some of Mendelssohn's most brilliant pieces for solo piano: the Variations serieuses, the Rondo capriccioso, and the "Venetian Boat Song" from the Songs Without Words
