The New Zealand String Quartet’s first Naxos recording of Mendelssohn’s string quartets (8570001) was praised as “opulently recorded” by Classic FM Magazine.
Its warmly affectionate accounts continue with this second of three volumes, including Mendelssohn’s posthumously published Capriccio and Fugue in E minor which display his polished mastery of counterpoint.
The composer’s respect for Beethoven is evident in both the quartets on this disc, although in his marriage of Classical style and Romantic impulse, Mendelssohn’s vivacious brilliance and lyrical gifts are never overshadowed.
Mendelssohn: String Quartets, Vol. 3
01. String Quartet No. 3 In D Major, Op. 44, No. 1 : I. Molto Allegro Vivace
02. String Quartet No. 3 In D Major, Op. 44, No. 1 : II. Menuetto: Un Poco Allegro

07. String Quartet In e Flat Major: I. Allegro Moderato
08. String Quartet In e Flat Major: II. Adagio Non Troppo
09. String Quartet In e Flat Major: III. Minuetto
10. String Quartet In e Flat Major: IV. Fuga
Praised by Gramophone for the “deep feeling” of its playing on Volume 1 (8570001) 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.
