Mendelssohn: The Complete Solo Piano Music Vol.2

Howard Shelley, acclaimed as the living master of early Romantic piano music, presents the second instalment of his six-volume set of Mendelssohn’s complete solo piano music — perhaps the least well-known part of the composer’s repertoire. The first volume was praised for Shelley’s “immaculate, lightly-pedaled brilliance, unfailing stylistic assurance, warmth and flexibility” (Gramophone). This second volume includes the Rondo capriccioso (a favorite virtuoso concert piece of the nineteenth century), the three-movement Scottish flavored Fantasia and two books of the Songs Without Words.
