孟德爾頌弦樂五重奏 (第一號與第二號弦樂五重奏皆特別收錄雙版本)

Bartholdy Quintett這組弦樂五重奏團體正是因為演奏孟德爾頌弦樂五重奏作品而一鳴驚人受到好評,因此特地將團名以孟德爾頌的中間名而命名為Bartholdy Quintett.在加入AVI唱片公司發行第一張布魯克納專輯後(AVI-348),終於於這張第二專輯發行了他們最擅長的孟德爾頌弦樂五重奏作品!該套曲目最為一流的名演錄音!
片中更是珍貴的收錄第一號弦樂五重奏原始的第三樂章版本.以及第二號弦樂五重奏的第四樂章Julius Rietz改編版.兩首作品都是雙版本一併收錄!絕對是這兩首作品最重要的一套發行!
 
In February 2009, on a date very close to the celebration of Mendelssohn's 200th birthday, we got together for the first time in a quintet lineup in order to perform a small concert in the form of a public rehearsal. The repertoire was rapidly chosen: it had to include at least one piece by Mendelssohn. After that successful experiment, we spontaneously decided upon the composer's second surname for our new quintet...
 
In Mendelssohn's case, the time between a finished composition and its subsequent publication could occasionally span several years; he frequently introduced significant changes, including cuts. The reasons for such changes are often no longer clear to us today. In certain cases it is not even clear whether Mendelssohn himself was responsible for the changes, or if they were made with his approval or not. The fundamental dilemma in working with these sources is that one has to give priority either to the autograph manuscript or to the first printed edition.
 
We have decided to record these works following Mendelssohn's manuscript, thereby avoiding all cuts. As an alternative, however, we have included the later version of the finale of the B Flat Major Quintet, which was possibly not altered by Mendelssohn himself, but by Julius Rietz a version which many connoisseurs will still have "in their inner ear".
