Alongside the Sonata Op.36 — one of the monuments of the repertoire for cello
and piano — Emmanuelle Bertrand and Pascal Amoyel have transcribed some
of the delightful Lyric Pieces as a sort of personal diary. In their own way, they
retrace the life of Grieg, from the little Arietta of 1867 to the fi nal backward
glance of Remembrances (1901). The program also includes two original pieces for
this formation, the Intermezzo and Grieg’s own transcription of the Scherzo from
harmonia
his third violin sonata.

Mendelssohn once said, “The most natural music of all occurs when four people
go out together in the woods or in a boat, and carry the music with them and
inside them!” These pieces for chorus, sparkling musical miniatures, are perhaps
the fi nest illustration of this profession of artistic faith. Mendelssohn’s lovely
choral music tends to get overshadowed by that of Brahms and by Mendelssohn’s
own works in other genres. This disc makes a strong case for a reassessment of
the musical merit of his work in this genre. Berlin’s RIAS-Kammerchor has
established itself as a world-class ensemble which owes its reputation chiefl y to
2008
the performance of a cappella works. Led here by their new principal conductor,
Hans-Christoph Rademann, the group continues its tradition of heartfelt music
making.
