Mikhail Voskresensky: Mendelssohn - Piano concerto no. 2 op 40 - I. Allegro appassionato
MENDELSSOHN, Felix
Concerto for piano and orchestra no. 2 in D minor op. 40 (orchestra part reduced for piano)
I. Allegro appassionato
Mikhail Voskresensky, guest professor
Katharina Treutler, student
Denis Lossev, accompanying pianist
The student plays the whole first movement without interruptions and then, prof. Voskresensky congratulates her warmly. In the 19th century, Mendelssohn played this Concerto by himself and it must be considered and taken this achievement into account: he was a gigant. It is also important to imagine the powerful, energy and freedom spent by Mendelsshon to play this difficult concerto.
Voskresensky is very glad about the performance of the student, he just makes indications on more dynamical contrast and surprise. So, he prefers to focus on second and third movement (available in following masterclasses).
