Mendelssohn - Piano Quartet No. 3 & 6
The Gewandhaus-Quartet and pianist Vladimir Stoupel perform the Allegro Molto from Felix Mendelssohn’s Piano Quartet No. 3 in B minor. Followed by the String Quartet No. 6 in F minor, Op. 80, the recording took place at the Gohliser Schlosschen, Leipzig in 1997. The Sixth String Quartet was the last major piece Mendelssohn completed before his death two months later, November 4th, 1847. The piece was an homage to his sister Fanny who had died on May 17th, 1847.
