The Calidore Quartet plays Mendelssohn.

Written in the aftermath of his sister, Fanny's tragically early death, Mendelssohn's friend, Julius Benedict wrote that the f minor quartet "completely impresses the listener with a sensation of gloomy foreboding, of anguish of mind, and of the most poetic melancholy." Recent members of Radio 3's prestigious young artist programme, the Calidore Quartet, bring their deep poetic sensibility to Mendelssohn's last major composition.
