Customer Reviews

Beautiful and Enchanting
This is a lovely double CD set. Mendelssohn solo piano music is beautiful and very escapist. Although I am a classical buff myself, I am buying a second copy to give to my fashionable electric guitar playing mate who wants to get into classical but doesn't know what he'd like. I reckon this stuff is hard to dislike and very accessible to classical newbes. I also have no complaints about Barenboim's performance/interpretation of these works.

Awesome musicality and insight
A wonderful recording that I guarantee you find yourself listening to time and time again. 48 unpretentious and attractive compositions that will take you away from the stresses and strains of life. A recording that should be part of everyone's classical collection.
