Composer
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
| 1809-1847Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847) is regarded as one of the most important composers of the Romantic period. His compositions combine the formal clarity of the Viennese Classical period with the heightened expressiveness of the 19th century. His engagement with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach was particularly influential; he played a key role in its rediscovery through the performance of the St Matthew Passion in 1829.
Among his best-known vocal works are his two oratorios, Paulus and Elias, as well as his chorale cantata Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich. Furthermore, Mendelssohn worked as a conductor, pianist and music teacher, and made a significant contribution to the professionalisation of the concert scene and to the development of the Leipzig Conservatoire. His work occupies a central position in 19th-century music history and combines a sense of tradition with Romantic sound aesthetics.

Arthur Schoonderwoerd
Arthur Schoonderwoerd is one of the most important fortepianists of his generation. His research into unknown and unjustly forgotten repertoire of the 18th and 19th century as well as performance practice has taken him down fascinating roads. Instruments of distinctive sound and touch are his passion, such as the Tangentenflügel, early Viennese pianos, and French pianos of the 19th century. After receiving his soloist’s diploma at the conservatory in Utrecht (Netherlands), he studied with Jos van Immerseel at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Musique de Paris, where he graduated 1995 summa cum laude. He won prizes at the renowned fortepiano competition during the early music festival in Bruges and the Wassenaer competition, and has been conferred the title of Lauréate Juventus by the Council of Europe. In addition to his world-wide solo career, he also is in demand as partner in chamber music and Lieder accompanist. He regularly performs with singers such as Hans Jörg Mammel, Sandrine Piau, David Wilson Johnsen, Mark Padmore and with instrumentalists such as Eric Hoeprich, Jaap ter Linden, Barthold Kuijken, Wilbert Hazelzet, Miklos Spányi, Graf Mourja, François Leleux, Marie Hallynck, Ronald van Spaendonck and others. His recordings have gained praise from the international press. Arthur Schoonderwoerd is teaching the historical piano at the Escola Superior de Música de Barcelona. Personal details

[...] Hans Jörg Mammel gibt wunderschöne, expressive und sehr differenzierte Interpretationen. Seine Diktion und Artikulation und die dynamische Differenzierung sind hervorragend. Arthur Schoonderwoerd trägt mit seinem farbenreichen Spiel wesentlich zur Ausdruckskraft dieser Aufnahme bei. [...]
