I just picked up the Hyperion Mendelssohn CD that has the 2 concerti, the Capriccio Brillant, the Rondo Brillant and the Serenade and Allegro giocoso. I don't know what possessed me other than Stephen Hough is the soloist. I already have all these works, but I always admire Hough's playing. I believe that the old Serkin Mendelssohn concerti will remain my favorites. I recently found a used cassette of these coupled with the Violin Concerto, and the sound is quite gooe. Better than my OLD LP's from the early '60's. I'll take a listen or two to Hough and report in. Does anyone else have this CD and opinions about it?
