A March 8, 1952 recording of Etelka Freund playing Mendelssohn's Fantasie in F-Sharp Minor Op.28.

The Hungarian pianist knew Brahms and trained with Liszt pupil István Thomán (who also taught Bartók) and the great Busoni, as well as with her compatriot Bartók, and at age 16 she went to Vienna to study with the legendary Theodor Leschetizky.

Freund was 68 when she emigrated to the US in 1946, at which point no agents were interested in promoting a pianist of that age, despite the great success of her concert appearances. She made a wonderful Brahms LP for the Remington label in September 1953 (a Chopin Waltz LP attributed to her is not in fact played by this artist) and in 1996 Allan Evans released that LP with a number of private recordings of the artist, including the Mendelssohn presented here.

Freund has a rather fascinating connection to Mendelssohn: her brother Robert, 20 years her senior, studied with Ignaz Moscheles, who had been a friend and teacher of the composer. While there's no guarantee she had obtained direct personal insight into the playing of this work, she was certainly steeped in the culture of the time in which it was produced and gives it a superb performance in her 72nd year.

Among the many admirable qualities we hear in her playing are impeccably voiced chords, beautifully shaped phrasing, masterful pedalling, marvellously coordinated articulation, wonderful timing, rhythmic drive, and gorgeous singing tone - all with incredible passion. Absolutely superb pianism by a true master.

OTD in Music History: Composer, conductor, and piano / organ virtuoso Felix Mendelssohn (1809 - 1847) is born in Germany. Nothing short of a living legend in his own time, Mendelssohn still remains one of the most popular and frequently performed composers of the early Romantic period. Mendelssohn's considerable compositional output encompass symphonies, concertos, piano music, organ music, art songs, and chamber music. His best-known individual works include the "String Octet" (1825 -- written when he was just 16!) the "Overture To A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1826 -- written when he was just 17!), the "Italian" (1834) and "Scottish" (1842) Symphonies, the "St. Paul" (1836) and "Elijah" (1846) Oratorios, and his 1st Piano Trio (1839) and Violin Concerto (1844). Mendelssohn's collections of "Songs Without Words" are probably his most famous solo piano compositions; he also penned the melody for the ever-popular Christmas carol, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!" Mendelssohn was also hailed for helping to spark revived interest among the concert-going public in the music of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 - 1750), through his landmark 1829 performance of (a highly-edited and thoroughly rescored version of) the St Matthew Passion. One of the greatest and most influential conductors of the early 19th Century, Mendelssohn’s ten visits to Britain – during which he oversaw the premiere of many of his most important works – exerted a profound and lasting impact on the musical culture of that country. PICTURED: An 1844 autograph letter written and signed by Mendelssohn -- in surprisingly good English! -- to a female admirer, regarding various musical and social matters. Most notably, Mendelssohn describes celebrated Italian bass Luciani Mariani (1801 - 1859) as "his favorite singer.” Mariani created a number of important opera roles, including Oroe in Giacomo Rossini's (1792 – 1868) "Semiramide" (1823), Rodolfo in Vincenzo Bellini's (1801 – 1835) "La sonnambula" (1831), and Alfonso d'Este in Gaetano Donizetti's (1797 – 1848) "Lucrezia Borgia" (1833).

Le primule si gonfiano con borioso piglio; mentre l’astuta mammola s’asconde ad ogni ciglio; un alito possente scuote la vita intera. E’ viva, è qui presente ormai la primavera. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe)

Guardo fuori dalla finestra, il cielo grigio e la pioggia che scende copiosa mi riporta all’autunno.Sono le mie primule nei vasi sul balcone, bagnate dalle gocce d’acqua, che mi riportano alla realtà, ricordandomi che tra undici giorni sarà l’equinozio primaverile.Questi fiori, tanto belli quanto semplici, sono il simbolo dell’avvicinarsi della primavera come scrisse il grande poeta di…
