This programme reflects all of the four musical Mendelssohn siblings except Rebecka, who tends to be left out. ‘My older brother and sister stole my reputation as an artist,’ she said sadly. ‘In any other family I would have been highly regarded as a musician and perhaps been leader of a group. Next to Felix and Fanny, I could not aspire to any recognition.’ The youngest, Paul, the only one born in Berlin after the family moved from Hamburg, contented himself with following his father and uncle into banking; but he was an excellent amateur cellist, and it is to his prowess as a private performer that we owe almost everything on this album.
