MENDELSSOHN OCTET
& FARRENC NONET

PROGRAM
Concert Duration: 1 hour
LOUISE FARRENC Nonet in E-flat Major, Op. 38
MENDELSSOHN Octet in E-Flat Major, Op. 20
The muse bestowed many kisses on Mendelssohn in his short life, but surely none sparked so brightly as the one that spurred the sixteen-year-old prodigy toward his effervescent Octet for Strings. For the pianist and composer Louise Farrenc, one inspired work of chamber music for winds and strings vaulted her, against all odds, to the top of French society.

“These performances of Mendelssohn’s piano concertos by Jan Lisiecki, former Gramophone Young Artist of the Year, are wonderful, rich in colour (and shade) and virtuosity.
The chamber-like sonorities and intricate interplay – surely the result of this being a conductor-less ensemble – are an endless delight…”
– Harriet Smith, Gramophone
