Description

Two of the world's most renowned string quartets, the Quatuor Ébène and the Quatuor Belcea, join forces to perform two octets written 75 years apart by two young prodigy composers: Felix Mendelssohn and George Enescu. Mendelssohn embodies the brilliant romanticism of the 19th century, while Enescu blends modernity with Romanian influences. In this recording of rare intensity, the playing of the eight musicians stands out for its energy, cohesion, and sonic richness.
