Description
Ronald Brautigam here performs the first four books of Felix Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words (Lieder ohne Worte). If claims could be made for a composer to have invented a genre single-handedly, Mendelssohn would be a strong candidate with his 'Songs Without Words' - short lyrical pieces for the piano using a song-like structure. They were immediately popular across Europe, and were imitated by several composers, including Robert Schumann. One of today's leading fortepiano players, Ronald Brautigam has released complete sets of piano music by Mozart and Haydn, and is currently recording a highly regarded series of the solo piano works by Beethoven.
