One might not expect an album of Mendelssohn's Lieder ohne Worte ("Songs Without Words") from pianist Igor Levit, whose offerings generally run to Beethoven or to ambitious concept albums. However, a look at the graphics and its striking Star of David pendant indicates what is happening. Levit intends the album as a memorial for the October 7th attacks in Israel, after which he had struggled for some weeks. Says Levit: "I made this recording out of a very, very strong inner necessity. I spent the first four or five weeks after the attack on October 7th in a mixture of speechlessness and total paralysis. And at some point, it became clear that I had no other tools than to react as an artist. I have the piano. I have my music." Proceeds from the album will be donated to German organizations combating anti-Semitism. As for the music itself, Levit strikes a tone of remarkable gravity. Mendelssohn isn't usually his thing, and he says he chose the Lieder ohne Worte for a melancholy he found in them. He doesn't mention Mendelssohn's Jewish background, but it fits into his effort. The album ends with a Prelude by another Jewish composer, Charles-Valentin Alkan, that has quite a haunting effect. The Mendelssohn pieces are carefully controlled and sober. Even apart from the tragic circumstances that gave birth to it, this album is something of a landmark in the performance of Mendelssohn's piano music.
