Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy – Lieder ohne Worte (Songs Without Words) – Baremboim

Durante muitos anos estive atrás de uma gravação dessas pequenas peças de Mendelssohn, mas nunca as encontrava. Até o dia em que as vi no avaxhome, na íntegra, nas mãos de Daniel Barenboim. Por algum motivo que desconheço, é muito raro se encontrarem estas peças na íntegra. E esta sua interpretação foi muito elogiada.

O texto abaixo foi retirado da wikipedia:

“The eight volumes of Songs without Words were written at various points throughout Mendelssohn’s life, (two of the volumes being published posthumously). The piano became increasingly popular in Europe during this era, where it became the focal point of many middle-class households. The pieces are within the grasp of pianists of various abilities and this undoubtedly contributed to their popularity. This great popularity has caused many critics to under-rate their musical value.
The works were part of the Romantic tradition of writing short lyrical pieces for the piano, although the specific concept of ‘Song without Words’ was new. Felix’s sister Fanny Mendelssohn wrote a number of similar pieces (though not so entitled) and she may have helped inspire the concept according to some music historians.
Mendelssohn himself resisted attempts to interpret the Songstoo literally, and objected when his friend Souchay sought to put words to them to make them literal songs:
What the music I love expresses to me, is not thought too indefinite to put into words, but on the contrary, too definite. {Mendelssohn’s own italics^“.]
