Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses romantischen und fein komponierten Quartetts in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch warmherzigem Klang des Fortepianos, seidigem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Violine, mildem Ton der Bratsche und tiefem Ton des Violoncellos. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt beruhigend. Im Kontrast klingt der letzte Satz echt lebhaft und auch erfeulich. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich ergreifend. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!
It is not an excellent quartet. It contains incomplete parts, slightly competent runs, melodies. BUT, the sense of tectonic relations, colours, tension and most importantly the sense of musical speech is accomplished by the young Mendelssohn.
To me it is study work in which he experiments with motifs, patterns and form. The last movement he fully masters it. No wonder he dedicated it to his teacher Zelter.
@@simonprecheurllarena I happen to know that Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy was born in 1809. That means that he wrote this piece of music at the age of 14. My comment was not about him, the child. It was about the quartet.
@@csababekesi-marton2393 Precisely! I was suggesting that your knowledge of his age might have biased your appreciation of the work. If this was opus 70 for instance would you have called out its incomplete and "not excellent" nature? Perhaps yes and then I am wrong.
I absolutely love this piano's tone!
@NGS712 -- True....rich sonority.....BRAVO from Acapulco!

Brilliance, sheer brilliance! Love it!

The adagio movement reminds me a lot of Schubert, but of course it's highly unlikely he had heard any of Schubert's music at this point.
Finale!
The pianist should be getting 10x the amount😊
Mendelssohn enjoys torturing the pianist, like in the piano trios.
Really have to congratulate Ms. Crawford on her performance of a very demanding work.

Wait till you hear the third one! (the producer of this recording)
The question is, would you have made this comment, had you not known Mendelssohn composed this as a child?
