Recensies

  • "The sheer youthful energy of both performances is reason enough to give this album a whirl." - Presto Classical

  • "These winning performances are invigorating and fresh- it’s Mendelssohn in the raw, as it were. While the orchestra is fastidiously driven by Lehmann in the concerto, some listeners might feel that Siranossian’s violin absorbs too much of the limelight in both of the pieces here, but to my ears the prominence of her playing in no way compromises one’s enjoyment of a splendid and revelatory disc." - MusicWeb International

  • "Dit unieke initiatief laat de werkplaats van de grootmeester zien, en biedt een frisse en ongewone kijk." - Andreas Moulin, Klara

  • "Une évidence pour l’octuor de Mendelssohn, double quatuor bien connu mais proposé ici dans sa version originale de 1825, mais une sorte de révélation pour le célèbre concerto pour violon en mi mineur du même compositeur, donné ici dans sa version originale de 1844, avec un violon (Chouchane Siranossian, excellente) plus primus inter pares que soliste." - La Libre Belgique

  • "Gone, for example, is the cut-crystal accuracy of the concerto’s finale, in favour of a rather more ‘skaty’ approach to its filigree. But the music’s sheer élan is barely compromised, making this a vividly enjoyable presentation." - Gramophone
