Mothballed Mendelssohn Scores, Rediscovered And Revived

Nearly a third of Mendelssohn’s music has lain in storage for 150 years, unpublished and unheard. Stephen Somary has been leading a project to track down, edit and revive these lost works, and he unveiled 13 of them, all chamber works, in a concert this week. “Most were delightful if not ground shaking,” writes Allan Kozinn.
