Chouchane Siranossian is a rising star of the
baroque and classical violin, Jakob Lehmann a
virtuoso violinist and orchestral director who
frequently conducts Anima Eterna. Together, they
embody what the Bruges orchestra and its founder,
Jos van Immerseel, have decided to call the ?Next
Generation Anima Eterna?? Today they are
presenting Mendelssohn?s Violin Concerto in its
original version.
'We wanted to take a look into Mendelssohn?s
workshop. He struggled with his self-diagnosed
?revision disease? and always strove to work hard
on himself and his creations? says Jakob Lehmann.
Chouchane Siranossian keeps on 'It was a
fascinating experience for me to discover
historical research and its implementation on
period instruments in collaboration with Anima
Eterna Brugge. In my interpretation, I used
exclusively the fingerings, bowings and other
performance markings of Ferdinand David and Joseph
Joachim, both of whom rehearsed the work with the
composer.?
This recording is rounded off with the Octet, also
in its original version, which is longer and has
many alterations in instrumentation, harmony and
articulation?
ICMA award Presto Classical Recording of the week
award
'Gone, for example, is the cut-crystal accuracy of
the concerto?s finale, in favour of a rather more
?skaty? approach to its filigree. But the music?s
sheer élan is barely compromised, making this a
vividly enjoyable presentation.'
Gramophone
'The sheer youthful energy of both performances is
reason enough to give this album a whirl.'
Presto Classical
'These winning performances are invigorating and
fresh- it?s Mendelssohn in the raw, as it were.
While the orchestra is fastidiously driven by
Lehmann in the concerto, some listeners might feel
that Siranossian?s violin absorbs too much of the
limelight in both of the pieces here, but to my
ears the prominence of her playing in no way
compromises one?s enjoyment of a splendid and
revelatory disc.'
