Description
An exciting new collaboration between Somm Recordings and the Tippett Quartet begins with striking performances of early and late string quartets by Mendelssohn. Fiercely imbued with the spirit of Beethoven, Mendelssohn's Opp. 12, 13 and 80 quartets brim and boil with an innovation, dynamism, emotional sincerity and technical flair some would deny the composer. These deeply felt performances from the Tippett Quartet present Mendelssohn in a new light and challenge Hans von Bulow's notorious observation that he began as a genius and ended as a talent". For the Tippett Quartet, these are works that "banish past notions that Mendelssohn's music is in any way lacking in emotional depth or profundity. We celebrate his innovation, invention and powerful spirit." "
