About

Praised by Gramophone for the “deep feeling” of its playing on Volume 1, the New Zealand String Quartet here completes its recording of all the Mendelssohn Quartets.

The composer’s first essay in the form, a strikingly accomplished work by a fourteen year old, is presented alongside his personal favourite, the D major, Op.44, No.1. This last of the three Op.44 Quartets to be written is notable for its suave Minuet and a particularly expressive Andante.

In the Op.81 Theme and Variations and Scherzo from the last year of his life, melancholy and magic meet in typical Mendelssohnian manner.

With one more volume to come, this promises to be an outstanding set.” - Gramophone on Vol.2
