About

Together with violinist Marc Bouchkov, Claire Huangci has recorded works by Mendelssohn for violin and piano: the two Violin Sonatas in F – one major, one minor – and the Double Concerto in D minor. They are accompanied in the latter work by the successful conductor Howard Griffiths and the Basel Chamber Orchestra. According to Mr Griffiths this is “a match made in heaven”.

As Ms Huangci points out, this programme is rich in contrasts. It highlights Mendelssohn’s artistry and the versatility of this combination of works: “A mix requiring wit and brilliance on the one hand, while also requiring the performers to go beneath the surface and reveal a deeper meaning including sorrow, compassion and nobility, and that is something that is not easy to detect at first glance. The young Felix Mendelssohn has such a feel for the dramatic.”
