Background: The Emerson Quartet have won numerous prestigious awards, including six Grammys and two Gramophone Record of the Year awards. Now they release a superb 4-CD set with the complete Mendelssohn quartets, a set of recordings that will set new standards. The Mendelssohn quartets - seven in all, plus individual movements - form an immensely engaging and exhilarating body of work. They range from the passionate utterances of the young composer (op.12 & op.13) to the anguished outburst of a man devastated by the death of his beloved sister (F minor op.80). In between there are the chamber-music equivalents of works like the famous Italian Symphony (the D major op.44 no.1). Including a special bonus feature - the Emerson's recording of Mendelssohn's delightful Octet, a work brimming with energy and lyricism. How do four players play eight parts? Find out on the CD-R track, 'Recording the Octet', a witty and enlightening eleven-minute documentary of eight Emersons in action. |
