Pianist Olga Pashchenko creates musical narratives with selections from Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words. As children, the two immensely prodigious siblings enjoyed using text to inspire their piano pieces, although which of them was the actual inventor of the genre remains a mystery. It is possible that they either co-created this genre, or even that Fanny could have been the creator of the genre traditionally ascribed exclusively to Felix. This music, although wordless, is bursting with poetry and well-suited to the Conrad Graf piano from 1836 that Pashchenko chose for this recording. The Graf piano, a brand favoured by Felix, has a recitative-like quality that Pashchenko uses to perfectly articulate the poetry inherent in these Lieder ohne Worte or as Fanny called them, Lieder für das Pianoforte.

Instrument: Conrad Graf 1836, restored by Gijs Wilderom. With many thanks to Museum Geelvinck for making the instrument available to Olga Pashchenko for the album recording and the music videos.
