Mendelssohn: 6 Organ Sonatas, Op. 65 |

Presentation
As everyone knows, Mendelssohn’s music, to a far greater degree than that of most of his contemporaries, lies within a double approach, often modernist and Romantic as well as historicizing when fancy takes him, especially under the influence of Bach and Haendel, and not without a few possibilities of synthesis between these two aesthetics. On one side, the ethereal, magical scherzos, lyrical effusions, elegant melodies and solemnities fed on heroism, and on the other, a stricter art of counterpoint, a trained practice of the chorale, and a science of fugue that is not surprising from a performer of Bach’s great works. This binary orientation between tradition and modernity firstly shows through the organ works, especially the Sonatas, most of whose movements fall into these two categories or succeed in synthesizing them.
