Mendelssohn op. 44 nos. 1, 2

"A top German ensemble which has made acclaimed recordings of Shostakovich, Schubert and Brahms, the group is not yet well known here but should be. The players combine technical brilliance with beautifully controlled dynamic contrast and gleaming clarity".

" This is not your father's Mendelssohn, nor indeed Mendelssohn for everybody, but it makes a forceful and worthy claim on your attention".

Læs anmeldelse

"A sneaking suspicion that this will be a cycle to collect disc-by-disc and treasure as definitive once it's complete ... There is a constant sense of their conviction here ... There is enough ego in Mendelssohn's own writing though, and the Mandelrings are consummately mature in how they keep his ebullient, youthful emotion under control through the perfection of their tuning and modesty in their phrasing".

"The work not only merits care but gains it from musicians who keep every element of the canvas in their sights".

"These are fine, intelligent and vituosic performances, recorded with a skilful apprectiation of all the considerable problems which Mendelssohn can set".

"Vurdering: Editor's choice" - "From the opening upwards-sweeping arpeggio of Op 44 No 1, the Cecilia prove to be compelling advocates ... A terrific achievement".
