RE: Choosing Joy through Cold Spring Winds (Mendelssohn, Schubert, Johann Baptist Gaensbacher, Bach, Brahms, Louis Théodore Gouvy)

This post really comes from the musical bookends in it ... for you, @mipiano, enjoy that opening Mendelssohn on the (almost) period instrument with its slight coldness compared to our modern pianos, and @jesuslnrs, I have posted the entire of Gouvy's Requiem, revived in 1994, and literally like nothing else in the sacred choral repertoire ... I have talked at length about my impressions of it, but there is a playlist on YouTube if you want to get the feel of it first before reading my commentary...

Thank you, dear Frau Mathews, this Mendelssohn indeed has a different sound than played on modern pianos; thank you for your mention, I must confess that my day was quite busy and tomorrow worse, I am grateful for this music to hear now, in my own spring storm. 🎶
I had a feeling you might need what I needed as I put that together ... I hope you find the sunshine you need soon!
