Felix Mendelssohn

Beyond Beethoven

On September 17, 2012, cellist Benjamin Capps and pianist David Kaplan arrived at VPR's studio in Colchester to begin a recording odyssey: all five of Beethoven's monumental sonatas for cello and piano.  These works represent all parts of Beethoven's life as a composer, from his early days trying to make a name for himself in Vienna, to the avant-garde works he wrote late in his life that challenged listeners at the time and still challenge our musical ideals to this day.

Ben and David will perform all five works on Saturday, January 5th, at 7:30 pm at College Street Congregational Church in Burlington, under the auspices of Burlington Ensemble.  This week, we'll hear all five of these recordings in the 3 pm hour on VPR Classical, and Ben and David have graciously offered these recordings, made in VPR's own performance studio in September, October, and November of 2012, as a gift to the community for free download through January 31, 2013.  VPR Classical is proud to present this project in collaboration with Burlington Ensemble.

Steinway artist, Chad Lawson, decided Chopin needed a new introduction.  Along with violinist Judy Kang (Lady Gaga, Ryuichi Sakamoto) and cellist Rubin Kodheli (Kanye West, Norah Jones), Lawson has arranged ten Chopin works into a minimalist landscape.

It's a risk editing the "poet of the piano" but one that Chopin would be proud of.  

Taking 10 Chopin works, Lawson decided to scale the works down to a minimalist setting.  "I knew even if bare-bones, Chopin's works could still be as spellbinding as the original compositions we are so familiar with." says the pianist.  

Produced by Chad Lawson & Alejandro Clavijo. Mixed by Stephen Lee Price.  Mastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studios (Atlanta, GA).

Chopin Nocturne in F Minor-Op. 55, No 1 (Variation) Piano, Violin, Cello - Chad Lawson

Chopin, as always, making pain beautiful.
IMO the most perfect of his 21 nocturnes.

Chopin Nocturne In C Minor Opus 48/1

Practicing piano is something I NEED to do in order to keep my chops up and also give me inspiration for when I'm writing my own records.  This here was a favourite of mine many years ago when I was competing (though I'm more rusty at it now!).  Mendelssohn's beautiful Songs Without Words Opus 102 No. 4 or otherwise known as the The Sighing Wind.

I performed this on a Bechstein D 282 which gives it that metallic and powerful sound.

Hope you all like it

Cello quintet arranged and performed by Deryn Cullen.
Solveig's Song is one of the movements from Grieg's Peer Gynt, Op. 23. It was the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name.

Grieg - Solveig's Song (cello quintet)

Felix Mendelssohn passed on a bark through  dense fog the lagoon of Venice - while Bastian Lee Jones  waited for him in a palazzo  at his concert grand, playing his composition, taken out of his song cycle LIEDER OHNE WORTE, called  VENITIAN BARK SONG. The sound of his Kawai grand seemed to show magically Mendelssohn's gondoliere the way through the canals. The maestro entered the palazzo with a bright smile and said: record this song - you exactly got what I tried to express  with it.  A sudden  noise woke me up! What a dream !
