I've loved your playing for a long time. I avoid the usually word "perfect," but this seems perfect to me. As I understand it, Mendelssohn wanted these pieces to approximate the human voice on a basically percussive instrument. The legato, gentle touch, tone colors, phrasing--all of this--would have made him very happy, I think. I've tried, but it's really too beautiful for words.
Lovely, thank you, I think it takes real subtlety and sensitivity to bring out the quality of these pieces; it was Gillels' recording that first made me realize how good the best of them really are.
Mr.Leon McCawley, SO WONDERFUL AS ALWAYS, MAESTRO!!!!! Thank you for my favourite Mendelssohn and for an excellent delightful performance, congratulations for over 1.190 subscribers to your great channel, you deserve more and more..., I've added this video to my old public playlists called "My Favourite Classical Music" and "Mr.Leon McCawley", I wish you and your family all the best for the New Year, again my heartfelt greetings from cold Poland to England, have a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!!!

This is one of my favorite songs without words by Mendelssohn. As always your playing is moving and emotional. I remember you playing this in Lichfield. I wish you and your family a very happy new year filled with music, in health and happiness, Hugh 😀
