Album information

Quatuor Van Kuijk celebrates its tenth anniversary with its sixth recording for Alpha: the first in a two volume series of Mendelssohn’s Complete String Quartets, due for completion in 2023. 

This first volume opens with the Quartet op.13, composed in 1827, when he was only eighteen years old. ‘A trial run? No, a masterstroke! In every movement of this first quartet, we are constantly aware that the sense of urgency is the blood that runs through its veins. Never before have we heard such tension maintained over an entire quartet’, writes Stéphane Goldet in the album’s booklet notes.
