[ Sony Classical / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 13 June 2025
The "Handel Mendelssohn Liepe" album, featuring violinist Niklas Liepe and the NDR Radiophilharmonie, is a reimagining of works by Handel and Mendelssohn, combined with new compositions. The album includes Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in E minor, alongside reimagined pieces by Handel and new works by Florian Christl and Tim Allhoff. Critics highlight the album's fusion of Baroque elegance, romantic depth, and modern creativity.
"it's Aleksey Igudesman's Peace‑acaglia that breaks out as the album's philosophical-but-fun centrepiece - a musical statement that demolishes cultural boundaries through its synthesis of Western and Eastern traditions." Gramophone
