Step into the world of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s timeless chamber music, masterfully brought to life by the Goldmund Quartet. This album captures the emotional breadth of Mendelssohn’s compositions–from the youthful passion of his String Quartet No. 2 in A minor, Op. 13 to the profound grief of the String Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op. 80, written after the loss of his sister.
The Goldmund Quartet’s nuanced interpretation also shines in their adaptation of Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words, where joy, reflection, and romantic melancholy are seamlessly expressed through their exquisite string playing.
Celebrated for their technical brilliance and heartfelt sensitivity, the Goldmund Quartet invites you to rediscover Mendelssohn’s music–a journey through love, loss, and hope that bridges the past and the present.
