    Works by:

    Felix Mendelssohn

    “The soloist, Ilya Kaler, has a rock-solid technique coupled with a real affinity for Mendelssohn’s music... refreshing, illuminating... Vitkauskaite’s legerdemain is glorious; dialogs between violin and piano sparkle... her sense of drama perfectly aligned to Mendelssohn’s... Eleven minutes of pure joy” ★★★★★
       —Fanfare

    “Kaler‘s performance approaches, and perhaps even achieves, the ideal... impeccable... gorgeous tone... Conductor Jonathan Cohler is a sympathetic collaborator, at one with Kaler‘s vision... Vitkauskaite also shines in Capriccio Brillant... Cohler provides sensitive, expert support for his soloists. ★★★★★
