Customer Reviews
Great Works - Great Recording
Mendelssohn often gets a bad rap for lacking substance. There's no greater substance, perhaps, than in his chamber works. And these are the best of them. The Octet, in particular, written by a 16-year-old Mendelssohn, while Beethoven and Schubert were still alive, is a stunning masterpiece of Romantic music. The Emerson Quartet gets the balance right throughout this recording. Magnificent!
VERY impressive
Because i am somewhat of a classical purist, i always cringe when i see a recording like the one of the octet on this album because it usually robs the piece of it's life and authenticity. When 4 players attempt to play a piece for 8, it is usually a recipe for disaster, but a great quartet like Emerson can pull it off. this album violates the very principles of classical music and yet it does nothing to damage mendelssohn's intentions or ideas. AMAZING
Chamber Music at its best!!!
It maybe Mozart's 250th birthday and I do hope we get a special album set from the Emerson String Quartet of Mozart, however; in the mean time, I'll be enjoy this wonderful set of recordings over and over again.
