DCD 088 - Mendelssohn Pro Arte
from The DCD Enhanced Classical 'Cast Hosted by Ralph Graves, host
This program we feature selections from Mendelssohn: String Quartets, a release from the Pro Arte Quartet. This CD, from the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Music presents three works for string quartets that come from different stages of Mendelssohn's career. His String Quartet in A minor, Op. 13 was composed when Mendelssohn was just 18. The String Quartet in D major, Op. 44, No. 1 completed when he was in his late twenties. And the final work on the album, the Fugue in E-flat major, Op. 81, No. 4 was written just before Mendelssohn's death in 1847. In this podcast we play excerpted movements from this exceptional album.
