New Generation Artists: the Consone Quartet and Katharina Konradi in Mendelssohn.

The period-instrument Consone Quartet's latest recording is of Felix Mendelssohn's early String Quartet in E flat major. Written in 1823 when he was only fourteen years old, it's still possible to detect his later style in the music. Also today, one of Mendelssohn's loveliest songs sung by Katharina Konradi, who appeared recently in the Royal Opera House's production of Das Rheingold.
