Mendelssohn Bartholdy/ Mandelring Quartet - String Quartets in E Flat Major & A minor

On the heels of their extremely successful Shostakovich string quartet project the Mandelring Quartet now embark on another ambitious project: The complete string chamber music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The first volume in the anticipated set, this recording features the early string quartets that would prove Mendelssohn to be not only remarkably adept in the Romantic vernacular, but an imaginative, sophisticated musical narrator.
