Mannheimer Streichquartett by Mendelssohn, Mendelssohn, F., Brahms, от (2023/2023), Alfried Krupp Hall, Essen, Germany

As the name of the Mannheim String Quartet (MSQ) suggests, it was founded in the former residential city. But this ensemble, which has won numerous prizes such as the "Opus Klassik", has been at home in Essen for a long time. With concerts at Zeche Zollverein and in the Philharmonie Essen, great string quartet art is guaranteed on a regular basis. The MSQ has now selected three works from the 19th century. It begins with a Beethoven bow by 20-year-old Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The quartet plays a string quartet by his sister Fanny, also written in E flat major, with which she silenced the often overly critical voice of her brother Felix. Finally, Johannes Brahms will perform his very first string quartet op. 51 no.
