Songs Without Words - Mendelssohn

Mendelssohn

Garritan CFX Lite

This is Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words Opus 19 No. 1. The very first piece in his collection of songs without words. This is played below the expected tempo, but honestly there is still a lot of beauty in this piece at this speed. Still a bit rough.

Now I need to choose between this and the Synthogy Ivory II American Concert D version for the online recital. This is Garriton CFX version.

Mendelssohn Songs Without Words 19.6 (Lieder Ohne Worte)CFX Venetianisches Gondellied

A Garritan CFX virtual recording of this nocturne. I've been bouncing against the limits of my skill level for a while without obvious improvements.

Pretty happy with this recording and I don't which one I like better between this and the recording using Synthogy Ivory II American Concert D recording.

The two have very different sounds.
