FELIX MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY String Quartets Nos. 1, 2 & posth. The Eroica Quartet

Formed in 1993 with the commitment to rediscovering the vivid performance style of the romantic era, The Eroica Quartet makes its remarkable recording debut with quartets by the precocious Felix Mendelssohn. The major influence of Beethoven is unmistakable in these works, yet it is Mendelssohn's humane sophistication, urbanity, and sense of well-being that make these quartets uniquely his own.
