Mendelssohn’s music embodies a striking duality: deeply rooted in German Romanticism and shaped by Bach and Beethoven, yet marked by his Jewish origins and the tension between identities. This complexity gains a special resonance at Christmas – as a bridge between cultures, traditions, and spiritual worlds.

, born in Kharkiv and long based in Germany, takes up this idea in her new album "The Star Of Mendelssohn". Christmas became meaningful to her only later in life, transforming into a celebration of light, empathy, and togetherness. With this spirit, she intertwines Mendelssohn’s "Songs Without Words" with traditional carols such as "What Child Is This?" and "Adeste, Fideles", allowing both sound worlds to merge through improvisation. The opening track – a "Midwinter Night’s Dream" inspired by Rachmaninov’s piano arrangement of the "Midsummer Night’s Dream" scherzo – playfully weaves in eight Christmas melodies.
The result is an album that unites festive warmth with spiritual depth while echoing Mendelssohn’s own search for identity. Baranova reveals music as a luminous bridge between worlds – a Christmas album that offers new perspectives on both Mendelssohn and the season itself.

▶ The new album is now available on all music platforms (link in bio).

The Mozarteumorchester Salzburg & Roberto González-Monjas present their first single from their upcoming album "Mozart: The Violin Concertos" today.

This record brings things full circle: "Mozart Serenades", the first recording in the series, was Roberto González-Monjas' debut album with the Mozarteumorchester. Now, three years later, the affable Spaniard interprets Mozart's violin concertos as principal conductor and soloist on the final album in the series. These are works that played a special role for the young Mozart in Salzburg and are still considered touchstones for musical expressiveness and stylistic finesse today.

On today's release, you can listen to the Presto movement from the Violin Concerto No. 1.
