It’s nice to see an ensemble of the Mandelring Quartett’s musical integrity and serious-mindedness let down its collective hair with an all-encore program. Among the disc’s highlights include relaxed yet supple readings of the Haydn “Bird” quartet Finale, elegantly turned early Mozart movements, plus a passionate and contrapuntally transparent Lento from Dvorák’s “American” quartet.

Felix Mendelssohn: Complete Chamber Music for Strings, Volume 3 Felix Mendelssohn wrote his six mature string quartets at pivotal points in his life and compositional career.
