The concerto is coupled with Felix’s sister, Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn’s, String Quartet, here for the first time recorded in an arrangement for string orchestra. As a bonus, Malin and Simon also perform four songs by Fanny, arranged for viola and piano. Musica Vitae Chamber Orchestra is the ensemble that brings live music – indeed the music of life – to each and every individual member of the audience. The vast realm that is art music is handled with the utmost precision and elegance by its 15 string players. The repertoire consists of baroque and romantic as well as modernist and contemporary music from a wide variety of genres. Musica Vitae appear on stages big and small in Sweden and abroad. Internationally, the orchestra has been warmly greeted in China, the United States, Greece, Switzerland, Germany and Spain to name but a few countries.

Reviews

December 2019

Felix’s Double Concerto for piano and violinist is a bustling virtuoso work demanding the fastest and lightest of touches and split-second coordination, It certainly receives this from its team here…Versatile, sensitive and attentive as player and conductor, Broman emerges as the star of the disc, but the energy from all is unfailing, complemented by clear recorded sound with a good amount of resonance.
