| |  | Mendelssohn - String Quartets Volume 1
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 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

“There's always a sense of direction and balance in the Talich's playing. But their full-on approach is more suited to the tragedy of Op. 80 than the light sunny classicism of the teenage Mendelssohn's first quartet.” BBC Music Magazine, January 2008 *** | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |

| |  | Mendelssohn: Requiem for Fanny
The Alcan Quartet performs music for string ensemble that reveals both the dark and light sides Mendelssohn’s character. His Quartet No. 6, Op. 80 is an anguished requiem for his sister Fanny, written shortly before the composer himself died. Four Pieces, Op. 81 was assembled by a publisher two years after Mendelssohn’s death. Canada’s internationally acclaimed violist Steven Dann joins the musicians of the Alcan for the composer’s Quintet No. 2, Op.87, written in 1845 during a period of relative calm. | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
