Fun fact: that album cover is an actual watercolour by Mendelssohn. View of Florence, dated 1830. If he wasn't writing music he could have moonlighted as a visual artist too.

The recording quality and musicians are out of this world! Thank you! ❤

O, how my music teacher was wrong about Mendelssohn, considering him a second rate composer, who tailored his music to sound like Mozart or Schubert! I didn’t discover the real Mendelsohn, besides his Midsummer overture, piano and violin concertos until later in my life. Thanks to KZfaq and Brilliant Classics, I was able to discover his quartets, trios and other intimate music pieces! Yes it is romantic, yet unique and different from other romantics. I wish many famous quartets would incorporate these Mendelssohn’s gems in their repertoire more often.

These are joyous right through. I would expect nothing less brilliant from the Klimt ensemble. Mendelssohn's death at 38 was tragic. With the volume of beautiful works he left behind him that have endured down the centuries one can only give thanks for the life he had. Also, his helping to reinstate J.S. Bach's works for us was among his many triumphs. Thank you to all concerned in putting this lovely recording together.

Mendelssohn, one of the best!

He was a Genius who composed music since childhood like Mozart . Now these recordings do him justice . Thnks for posting .

Thank you all for sharing this beautiful music with the public!

As highly regarded as Mendelssohn is, he is still underrated. He is one of the greats.

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieser vier romantischen und fein oder perfekt komponierten Quartette im überzeugenden Tempo mit klar artikuliertem Klang des Klaviers, seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Violine, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich bemerkenswert. Alles ist wundervoll!

Wonderful post. This type of classical music {piano quartets & concerto's} is what i think of as classic classical music. Great for intensely listening, reading by or even taking a nap too. A good all-rounder.

Da fängt man an zu träumen, toll, vielen Dank.

Una verdadera joya la obra a cuatro. Este compositor está entre los grandes románticos. Escuchar su música es un verdadero deleite.

Thannk you SO MUCH for posting these astonishingly good pieces by Mendelssohn - - abd olayed so magnificently.

아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🎻🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤수고 많으셨습니다~☕

Mendelssohn is just a genius, and his music gave a big effect to other composers. And I like his music because of 3 sources, Romantic, Endless Beauty, and Very new style that makes no one to compare about similar musics.

Mendelsshon siempre a sido para mi el compositor mas motivante, muchas gracias por compartir!

Divine music ❤

These are the best Piano Quartets around.

Какие чудесные произведения - жаль, что они не так знамениты, как его же фортепианные трио 😊

Favoloso! Grazie!

Magnífico...

Beautiful. The Allegro Molto Vivace (from 45:19 onwards) is my favorite part of this wonderful music.

wonderfull

Gracias

Как хорошо!

GREAT

I listen to Baroque music 95% of the time, but this is a nice Romantic piece!

I love it because classical music beats reggaeton, the music is the best :)

穏やかに波打つ様に繰り返す水の迷妄は、 建築家に憧れた人が頓挫した後に見出す、夏の蜃気楼の様で、 詰まりは人生の本質と幸せを発見したる、と言う事なんです。

노래 좋다.

Now i guess the source of Chick corea's album The mad hatter.

alice gaBBiani :)

A disappointing recording. What on earth motivated those weird pauses in the first movement of the first quartet? And the string playing in general lacks the necessary finesse. I recommend the recording by the Schubert Ensemble (which ironically was once on Brilliant) -- best thing they ever did.

Child prodigy but most of his later works didn't seems to match up !

Gloriously uplifting this harmonious music with incredibly lyrical ADAGIOS in every quarter 💘👌🙏
