Info for Blue Hour: Mendelssohn Edition

The “Blue Hour“ recording project continues! Andreas has enlarged his collection of new arrangements of Mendelssohn’s “Songs without Words“ for clarinet & piano (joined by Yuja Wang / Julien Quentin) and clarinet & strings (Schumann Quartet) and is releasing them for DG on all streaming services - creating a “Blue Hour - Mendelssohn Edition”.

“Mendelssohn’s Songs without words have been part of my musical life for a very long time. As a kid I really loved listening to them! Arranging some of them for my Blue Hour album, opened up a wonderful world to me, and with the beginning of lockdown a few months ago, I again took the time to re-visit and to enlarge the collection of these arrangements. Now I’m taking the next step by arranging pieces for clarinet and strings discovering a universe of possibilities. Our very personal collection of Mendelssohn’s Songs without words hopefully brings to life different sides of this wonderful music.” (Andreas Ottensamer)
