Review by Karthik Ravi

Double Concerto for Violin, Piano and String Orchestra in D Minor: A Wild Ride Through Mendelssohn’s Genius Alright, buckle up, because this album punches you right in the feels from track one. It’s Mendelssohn at his most unapologetic—dark, brooding, yet somehow still dripping with that Romantic-era charm. You got Carroll Glenn shredding on violin like she owns the damn thing, Eugene List hammering out piano lines so sharp they could cut glass, and Ernst Maerzendorfer waving his baton around like he’s conducting thunderclouds. The Vienna Chamber Orchestra? They’re tight as hell, adding layers of drama without ever stepping on each other's toes. Let’s dive into the tracks. First off, “Adagio.” This isn’t some wimpy slow movement meant to lull you to sleep—it’s heavy. Like, emotionally loaded heavy. Glenn’s violin whispers secrets while List’s piano answers back like it’s trying to solve a mystery. There’s tension here, man. Real human stuff. By the time the strings swell up behind them, you feel like you’ve been dragged through heartbreak and come out stronger on the other side. And then there’s “Allegro Molto.” Holy crap, this thing SMASHES. If “Adagio” is introspective, this is an all-out sprint. Glenn and List go toe-to-toe, trading phrases faster than a couple of caffeinated swordfighters. The interplay between the violin and piano feels almost competitive, but not in a bad way—in a "watch these two pros try to outdo each other" kind of way. Meanwhile, Maerzendorfer keeps the whole train from derailing, which honestly must’ve taken every ounce of focus he had. By the end, your heart’s racing, and you’re left wondering how anyone can play that fast without their fingers catching fire. Now, let me tell ya something weird—I kept thinking about video games while listening to this album. Not modern ones, mind you, but those old-school RPGs where every boss fight had epic music blasting in the background. This record would’ve fit perfectly in some pixelated castle showdown. Maybe that says more about my messed-up brain than the music itself, but hey, art makes you think strange things sometimes. Bottom line? This Westminster Gold release slaps hard. Sure, it’s classical music, but don’t let that fool you—it’s raw, emotional, and packed with energy. Mendelssohn knew what he was doing, and Glenn, List, and the crew knock it outta the park. If you’re looking for something that’ll grab you by the collar and shake you awake, give this one a spin. Just… maybe don’t listen to “Allegro Molto” if you’re already hyped up on caffeine. Trust me on that one.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? Mendelssohn's *Double Concerto for Violin, Piano, and String Orchestra in D Minor* is a hidden gem of the Romantic era. It’s one of those pieces that doesn’t get as much attention as his famous *Wedding March*, but it’s absolutely stunning. The album by Westminster Gold brings together an incredible team: Carroll Glenn on violin, Eugene List on piano, and the Vienna Chamber Orchestra conducted by Ernst Maerzendorfer. Each track—*Adagio*, *Allegro Molto*, and *Allegro*—showcases the perfect balance between fiery passion and delicate harmony. Fun fact: this recording was made in the US, but it carries the timeless elegance of European classical tradition.
