Michael Barenboim & Natalia Pegarkova-Barenboim - Mendelssohn: Lieder ohne Worte - Gramophone

One never questions the aesthetic behind David's arrangements, which speaks volumes for these strongly characterised performances, each one worthy of a separate comment in another context. Michael Barenboim and Natalia Pegarkova-Barenboim, his partner in both senses of the word, invest in them an old-world charm.

These are performances we can admire without reservation and they make for compulsive listening.
