About
Best known as the supreme genius of an even-tempered Romanticism, Mendelssohn shows a much more passionate side in the works recorded here by the Modigliani Quartet: in reaction to tragic events, including the death of his beloved sister Fanny, the composer turned to Beethoven for inspiration and wrote music that is at once profound, intense and audacious.
