Recent scholarshp has brought numerous compositions by the excessively self-critical Mendelssohn into print and has ensured more accurate compositional dates for them. Many of these rare and little-known examples are encountered in this album. The title "Lieder ohne Worte" hay have mystified some contemporaries but their refinement and beauty is obvious as is their wide emotional range. The two youthful sonatas are astonishingly mature, even in the allusions to Beethoven.
