Mendelssohn - Capriccio Brilliant & Franck - Variations Symphoniques

Mendelssohn's sparkling Capriccio Brillant is an enduring favorite, long admired for its compact form and masterful writing. A playful romp! Cesar Franck's famous and magnificent Variations Symphoniques is a compact concerted piece in a single movement of variations, gorgeously composed in Cesar Franck's inimitable style. One of the most understated, magnificent works in the Romantic repertoire, a joy for any pianist.

Includes a high-quality printed music score and a compact disc containing a complete version with soloist, in split-channel stereo (soloist on the right channel); then a second version in full stereo of the orchestral accompaniment, minus the soloist.

Performed by Neill Eisenstein, piano

Accompaniment: Stuttgart Symphony Orchestra
