A multi-cam view of the Artemis Quartet's impassioned Mendelssohn, the Allegro from the Sixth String Quartet, in F minor.

The new CD, containing three of Mendelssohn's six quartets, brings works from three distinct periods in the composer's life: No 2 in A minor, op 13, written in 1827, when he was still a teenager; No 3 in D major, op 44, No 1, from 1838 -- by which stage he was already at the peak of his career, and No 6 in A minor, op 80, composed just months before he died at the age of 38.
