The influence of Beethoven is unmistakable in these works, yet it is Mendelssohn's humane sophistication, urbanity, and sense of well being that make these quartets uniquely his own.

CD Reviews

A lovely CD.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mendelssohn's early death robbed the world of a great promise-still his music shows an astonishing maturity of emotion for one so young. This is most apparent in the great quartet in F Minor (not on this CD)-but still the early quartet's that are recorded here are undeniably beautiful and played with great tenderness. A lovely CD"
