Jan Lisiecki Jan Lisiecki, the Canadian piano virtuoso, showcases his mastery in Felix Mendelssohn's Piano Concertos in G minor and D minor – two remarkable compositions of the early Romantic period. He is joined in this performance by the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra of New York.
The recording is complemented by significant solo piano pieces by Mendelssohn: the Variations sérieuses, the Rondo capriccioso, and the 'Venetian Gondola Song' from the collection Songs Without Words. Lisiecki strongly rejects the notion that albums are merely compilations of repertoire. He prefers to select works that complement each other thematically or in character.
