New Zealand String Quartet

The latest CD by the New Zealand String Quartet is Volume 2 of their three volume recording of the compete Mendelssohn String Quartets, released by Naxos in September 2009. The Quartet’s readings of Mendelssohn on this disc quickly won praise from Gramophone Magazine, which referred to their “confidence as ensemble players”, their “strong sense of internal balance” and their focus on “expressive detail”. Volume 3 of what Gramophone reviewer Duncan Druce predicts will be an “outstanding set” will be released in May 2010.
