Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy

An incredible classical music collaboration occurred to commemorate the 2009 Mendelssohn bicentennial. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emanuel Ax, and violinist Itzhak Perlman, all virtuosos, came together for the first time and recorded the Mendelssohn Piano Trios.

This captivating new recording by critically acclaimed Duo, Emanuel Gruber (cello) and Arnon Erez (piano), gives a fresh look at the joy and beauty of Mendelssohn's cello music. Best known for their rare unity during performances, Gramophone raves '(they) shape with such thoughtfulness and precision that it seems someone has to be directing the whole affair'.

Three loving couples meet in a quiet country get-together, but everyone seems to be loving the wrong person.
