Mendelssohn: "Andante Tranquillo" from "Sonata No. 3"

Strathroy United Church organist Edith Hanselman performs the offertory Andante Tranqillo from Felix Mendelssohn's Sonata No. 3 on April 27, 2008.

Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, born and generally known as Felix Mendelssohn (February 3, 1809 -- November 4, 1847) was a German composer, pianist and conductor of the early Romantic period. He was born to a notable Jewish family, the grandson of the philosopher Moses Mendelssohn. His work includes symphonies, concerti, oratorios, piano and chamber music. After a long period of relative denigration due to changing musical tastes and antisemitism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, his creative originality is now being recognized and re-evaluated. He is now among the more popular composers of the Romantic era.

a bit too fast for my taste, but still a good performance.
