 This is part of a pioneering Mendelsson Songs and Duets series, a well received ongoing Guildhall School project connected with Eugene Asti's preparation of a critical performance edition (Barenreiter, 2008) of Mendelssohns songs, many of them previously unublished, and unperformed for one hundred and fifty years. Not all are likely to enter the repertoire, though the Barenreiter
edition and these CDs should certainly be in the libraries of all conservatoire and college vocal departments.
The singing is all very acceptable, at the least, with more interesting songs in the second disc. In the first one, it was a pleasure to hear Hannah Morrison, late of Pantagruel, singing folk songs in her native Scots.
These discs will be important in following the career development of these young artists, several of whom are likely to achieve fame and fortune in due course.
