On this recording, the violinist Thomas Albertus Irnberger, acclaimed by critics and the public alike, devotes himself to two masterpieces by the young Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. In conjunction with the Italian pianist Edoardo Torbianelli and the Israel Chamber Orchestra conducted by the Viennese Roberto Paternostro, the young Salzburger interprets the Concerto for Violin, Piano and Orchestra in D minor MWV O 4, later rejected by the composer, but characterized by remarkably mature compositional technique, and the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D minor MWV O 3 by the 13-year-old Mendelssohn. This splendid recording is supplemented by the Variations Concertantes op. 17 and the Song without Words op. 109, where Irnberger and Torbianelli, performing on a period Bösendorfer fortepiano of 1845, can once more give proof of their artistic skills.
