Written by a 20-year-old genius, this work masterfully combines lyrical depth with dazzling technical complexity. It was born at the intersection of two genres: the piano miniature (capriccio) and the concert piece with orchestra. The work opens with a solemn, almost dramatic orchestral introduction, which then gives way to a graceful, sparkling dialogue between soloist and orchestra. In your performance, this magic comes alive thanks to a brilliant trio of musicians: Joanna Graudan at the pianoher playing is full of refinement, subtle nuance, and impeccable technique, revealing both the crystalline virtuosity and the poetic soul of the music. The Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of the legendary Dimitri Mitropoulosa conductor renowned for his intellectual depth and energycreates a perfect, transparent, and powerful orchestral texture that does not drown out, but rather elevates, the piano. This rare, historic recording is not just a performance, but a meeting of great artistic personalities. Mitropoulos, a subtle interpreter of the Romantic repertoire, finds an ideal ally in Johanna Graudan, whose mastery makes every Mendelssohn passage sound like a rushing stream or a sparkling diamond. Listen as the music shifts from pensive melancholy to unbridled joy, from improvisational freedom to strict classical form. "Capriccio Brilliant" is a true feast for piano connoisseurs and a wonderful example of why Mendelssohn is called "the Mozart of the 19th century." Enjoy this precious musical moment!
