Our Take

The ELIAS QUARTET's latest release, "Mendelssohn String Quartets Op.13, Op.80 & 4 Pieces Op.81," is a tantalizing journey through the graceful and intricate world of Felix Mendelssohn's chamber music.

Op.13 opens with a poignant adagio, setting the tone for the rest of the quartet. The ELIAS QUARTET's performance is nothing short of mesmerizing, with each member weaving their own unique voice into the intricate tapestry of Mendelssohn's composition. The vibrant energy that fills the room during the allegro vivace is enough to make even the most stoic listener tap their foot in time.

Moving on to Op.80, the quartet showcases their versatility and finesse with a more subdued and introspective piece. The ELIAS QUARTET delicately navigates the ebb and flow of emotion in this quartet, painting a vivid picture of Mendelssohn's inner turmoil. The haunting melody of the third movement is particularly captivating, sending shivers down the spine of anyone within earshot.

Closing out the album with the 4 Pieces Op.81, the ELIAS QUARTET proves once again why they are at the top of their game. The quartet's seamless blend of technical prowess and emotional depth shines through in each of these short but sweet pieces. From the playful scherzo to the dreamy andante, the ELIAS QUARTET leaves no stone unturned in their exploration of Mendelssohn's genius. In short, "Mendelssohn String Quartets Op.13, Op.80 & 4 Pieces Op.81" is a must-listen for any classical music enthusiast looking for a fresh take on these timeless compositions.
