"There are discs which can give the critic instant joy. This recording of Mendelssohn′s string chamber music on the TACET Label – also available on DVD – is one of that unusual breed. The interpretation of the octet sounds so astonishingly charming, vital and vivid that you can sense the euphoria the 16-year-old Mendelssohn experienced in creating it. Here we hear music in its most optimistic form, as an acoustic expression of joie de vivre. The crystal-clear recording quality and the stable tonal picture, clearly audible even in the orchestral passages, are largely responsible for this impression." (Klassik heute)
