Double Concerto for Violin & Piano | Coke Bolipata (Violin) and Harold Galang (Piano)

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) grew up in the most privileged and intellectually stimulating circumstances imaginable. His father, Abraham, had made a fortune during the Napoleonic Wars as a banker, financing trade out of the north German port city of Hamburg in spite of the blockade. Abraham used his wealth to the support of the Prussian army, bankrolling medical care for soldiers in the field. After the Prussian victory at Leipzig in 1813, Abraham was rewarded for his largesse with a spot on Berlin's municipal council, so the Mendelssohns, including four-year-old Felix, moved to the Prussian capital. The family quickly became one of the city's most prominent, with their house (really more a small palace) on Leipzigerstrasse serving as a gathering place for Berlin's leading political and intellectual figures. Felix and his sister Fanny were extraordinarily gifted musicians, even as children. (The writer and philosopher Goethe had heard both Felix and another child prodigy, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, play and found Felix more impressive.) Their mother organized musical salons on Sunday mornings, often hiring an orchestra to play her son's latest music. The D-minor Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra was first performed privately at one such Sunday event on May 25, 1823; the public premiere took place at Berlin's Schauspielhaus on June 3. The 14-year-old Mendelssohn originally wrote the Concerto for himself and Eduard Rietz, his violin teacher and a frequent participant in the family's Sunday concerts. The composer completed a version of the score for piano, violin, and string orchestra on May 6, 1823, and immediately thereafter he added parts for twelve wind and brass instruments (two each of flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets) and timpani. After those two 1823 performances, the score disappeared; the version for string orchestra was only rediscovered after World War II in the Berlin State Library, which houses the Mendelssohn Archive. Relying on this score and on wind parts discovered in the Bodleian Library, Oxford, and first catalogued in 1983, German musicologist Christoph Hellmundt reconstructed the present version for full orchestra in 1999 for the ongoing Leipzig edition of Mendelssohn's complete works. source: https://www.laphil.com/musicdb/pieces...
