There are said to be musicians who cling to the old prejudice that the composer of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” is incapable of true depth. Or those who still only see cheerful Olympian qualities in Felix - “the happy one” – Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. Be that as it may, these music listeners of a past age are at a risk of having to considerably revise their image of Mendelssohn with the new GENUIN CD by the Munich Piano Trio. The feverish passion, the burning fire of the initial movements of both Piano Trios which the ardently musical and highly virtuoso ensemble provokes, speaks an entirely different language. And the cheerful composure of songlike themes, the elfin and gnome-like apparitions of the Scherzi obtain a new weight. This is a glimpse into highly romantic, abysmally profound landscapes of the soul – urgently recommended!
