Mendelssohn:

String Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op. 80

String Quartet No. 1 in E flat major, Op. 12

String Quartet No. 4 in E minor, Op. 44 No. 2


New Zealand String Quartet

This first disc of the complete String Quartets ranges from the youthful No. 1, Op. 12 (actually the second of the published quartets) to the great, tragic String Quartet No. 6, Op. 80, Mendelssohn’s last major work, composed after the death of his sister.

“The sound of this disc has an ample resonance, yet with little loss of clarity; it suits the group's generous expressive style. The deep feeling they bring to movements such as the Adagio of No 6 and the first Allegro of No 4 belies any lingering thoughts of Mendelssohn as a superficial composer.” Gramophone Magazine, July 2008
