“The German composer’s output also contains many chamber works that display an emotional intensity, which deserve to be heard by the audience,” says Yang Yichen, the cellist of Amber Quartet, who is also a teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music in Beijing.On Friday, the string quartet, one of the best-known in China, released their latest album, Felix Mendelssohn String Quartets, featuring two music works that the composer wrote: String Quartet No 2 in A Minor, Op 13 and String Quartet No 6 in F Minor, Op 80, and a music piece adapted from the composer’s art song, 12 Lieder, Op 9: No 1, Frage, which was arranged by Yang for the string quartet.

The album was released by Naxos, and was the first collaboration between Amber Quartet and the classical music label.

“When we were preparing for this new album, we listed some music works by different composers that we love but we decided to record Mendelssohn’s string quartet works because few Chinese string quartets did it. His string quartet works are so beautiful and the audience will enjoy them very much,” says Ning Fangliang, first violin of Amber Quartet, who also teaches at the Central Conservatory of Music. “We also hope that the audience will learn more about the composer.”
