Rarely has a composer produced a work of such effortless genius as
the sixteen-year-old Mendelssohn’s Octet – a miraculous stream of
wonderful melody. The Nash Ensemble marks the 200th anniversary
of Mendelssohn’s birth (February 1809) with a performance of this
masterpiece in the hall in which the composer once played and conducted. It is heard next to the delicious Sextet from Strauss’s
Capriccio and the dark tragedy of Mozart’s great G minor String
Quintet.
