Comment
downloaded from EZ Torrent. Notes from the uploader (thank you so much!):
In march 1995 Han Reiziger and Christiaan Bor produced an eight hour marathon on Dutch radio. I recorded the music alone and left out the interviews; enough for 6 hours of music.
If i have the courage and energy i will post this all the coming months.

This marathon and its performances have a very special atmosphere; joyous and wildly energized because of all this fantastic music all these players seem to drive each other to the most excellent and daring performances. Yet it all feels very informal.
The sound seems to come from a large living room instead of a studio and adds to the liveliness of it all. The source tape suffers from some but not disburbing level of analog noise. I experimented again with cleaning of the sound but rejected everything because of the loss of overtones.

Mendelssohn is maybe not forgotten; but even collectors are hardly aware of all the treasures his music has to offer. I red a lot about Mendelssohn and he really was a very special guy. Child prodigy but enormous hard worker, full of integrity. He resembles Mozart in many ways, especially in the fact that he was fully aware of his musical genius and enjoyed every minute of it. The optimistic and happy feelings that pour from his music are by black romantics, who consider only suffering to be deep, mistaken for superficiality. Plus his most known works have suffered from overexposure. Mendelssohn, who was of jewish descent, but coverted to Christianity, furthermore suffered the antisemitic character murder by Wagner, who was psychologically in everything the exact opposite of Felix.

But on to the players. I didn't keep the announcements so i can't exactly say, who plays what.
