"There are moments in Mendelssohn's music that just make you happy!" says Igor Levit. It can make you even happier when this exceptional pianist meets Mendelssohn himself. And those who are fans of both Levit and Mendelssohn will get their money's worth fourfold in this concert: Levit has chosen to perform both of Mendelssohn's piano concertos. For the pianist does not do things by halves. When he dedicates himself to a composer and his piano works, he prefers to do so in full. Thus he presents to us his comprehensive findings on two highly different works, which are rarely played, but in their richness of melody, in their passionate Sturm und Drang and in their fine dialogues belong to the most beautiful piano concertos ever.
