Description
As featured in Gramaphone magazine, the American Piano Duo and the Brigham Young University Philharmonic Orchestra present the world premiere recording of Mendelssohn’s Concerto for Two Pianos in E major, featuring the concerto’s first movement restored to its original form thanks to research by musicologist Steve Lindeman. This new recording illuminates Mendelssohn’s youthful genius and includes an in-depth scholarly essay originally published in Musical Quarterly. Critics and publications from London to Seoul attest to its historical and musical value.
