Works By Mendelssohn/ Enescu

Descripción:

Before Felix Mendelssohn produced his Octet for strings in 1825, only Louis Spohr had composed for a similar combination of instruments. Rather than an octet, however, Spohr's work was a 'double quartet' written for two equal but independent string quartets. Mendelssohn, on the other hand, treated the eight instruments as a single unit, collaborating 'in symphonic orchestral style', as he himself put it. He was only sixteen when he composed the Octet, full of a youthful ardour that has made it one of his most popular works. It is a farewell to the Mozartian style that had characterized Mendelssohn's early production and at the same time a first step on the way to Romanticism. The second octet on this disc is also a youthful work written at a time of transition, now from Romanticism to Modernism: George Enescu was 19 years old when he completed his Octet in C major in December 1900. The work is concentrated, complex and highly contrapuntal, a sounding illustration of what Enescu elsewhere described in words: 'I am by nature a polyphonist, not at all an advocate of sequences of pretty chords. I have a horror of anything that stagnates. For me, music is not a state but rather an action...' Among the small number of works for this instrumental combination, these belong to the very finest, and are here performed by two of today's leading quartets: the Gringolts Quartet and Meta4 have both made numerous acclaimed recordings in the most diverse repertoire., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Cello [Gringolts Quartet]: Claudius Herrmann, Cello [Meta4]: Tomas Djupsjöbacka, Ensemble: Gringolts Quartet, Ensemble: Meta4 Quartet, Executive-Producer: Robert Suff, Layout [Typesetting, Lay-out]: Andrew Barnett, Liner Notes [Cover Text]: Jean-Pascal Vachon, Liner Notes [Translation English]: Andrew Barnett, Liner Notes [Translation German]: Anna Lamberti, Photography By [Cover Photography]: Mats Bäcker, Post Production, Edited By [Editing], Mixed By [Mixing]: Jens Braun, Producer, Engineer [Sound Engineer]: Jens Braun, Viola [Gringolts Quartet]: Silvia Simionescu, Viola [Meta4]: Atte Kilpeläinen, Violin [Gringolts Quartet]: Anahit Kurtikyan, Violin [Gringolts Quartet]: Ilya Gringolts, Violin [Meta4]: Antti Tikkanen, Violin [Meta4]: Minna Pensola, Composed By: Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, Composed By: George Enescu, Labelcode BIS2447SACD (BIS-2447 SACD, BIS-2447 | SACD, BIS-2447), Phonographic Copyright (p) BIS Records AB, Copyright (c) BIS Records AB, Copyright (c) Jean-Pascal Vachon, Copyright (c) Mats Bäcker, Recorded At Sellosali, Glass Mastered At Sony DADC, Glass Mastered At Sony DADC, Made By DADC
