String Octet in E-flat major, Op. 20

Felix Mendelssohn

String Octet

Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

1968 Really good sound quality.

Gil's first choice. Beautiful, immaculate playing, and wonderful virtuosity. They 'just really nail it' in terms of tempos and interpretation.

Jaime Laredo / Marlboro Festival Ensemble

1965

A collection of great musicians. Wonderfully played with great energy and great musical judgment.
