I've heard many performances of the Mendelssohn Octet and this ranks among the best for me. This ensemble keeps the intensity throughout the piece and the dynamic control adds a wonderful contrast. Bravo!

I'm so glad they didn't bash through this like so many others. James Ehnes, my goodness what a scherzo.

Gute Interpretation dieses technisch schwierigen (z.B. die Celli (das 1.) kommen gelegentlich an die Grenzen des spieltechnisch möglichen bzw. ihre eigenen) und musikalisch anspruchsvollen Werkes. Woran es mir insgesamt etwas fehlt ist, daß die Geschlossenheit des Gesamtwerkes und die vollständige logische Verbundenheit aller Teile in der Interpretation nur unvollkommen dargestellt werden. Augenfällige Beispiele sind die z.T. zu langen Pausen zwischen den Sätzen, die dann als etwas "ganz anderes" begonnen werden. Richtig wäre es, den Kontrast zwischen den Sätzen trotzdem mehr als Zusammenhang darzustellen und spüren zu lassen. Häufige rhytmisch - metrische Unschärfen bzw. fehlende Durchhörbarkeit / Betonung wichtiger Motive / Phrasen. Trotz aller - nicht vollständig vermeidbarer - Schwächen (vor allem das stark umgsetzte Presto versöhnt mit ihnen) eine sehr respektable und hörenswerte Performance!

What a lovely performance, especially in the more intimate moments contrasting with a very extrovert , exciting and passionate overall approach. Up bow staccato by Mr Ehnes in the scherzo was a nice touch and an incredibly light and delicate end to the movement. For a different and even more wonderful take on this, try the Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, the real pros at this type of music....with DOWN bow staccato in the scherzo...

I thought Joseph had abandoned his singing career. A great shame since I had seen him on the Met stage, and he was outstanding. Also, Kenneth Branagh’s Magic Flute. Is he teaching now? Restaurateur?

Spectacular playing all around. But especially James, what a sound! So elegant, so exciting, so committed. Never heard it better.

Though it was decades ago that I last saw Boris Brott, I still remember him with affection, with his never-ending energy and the constructive way he helped young musicians in particular. He offered a number of funny stories, and I remember one in particular. He had a recording session in Britain, and he worried about where he could park his Bentley. He saw a row of Bentleys parked near the front door of the building where the recording was taking place, and with some trepidation he left his at the end of the line-up. All through the session he worried about it, but when he got back to it, he found it had been washed and the gas tank filled up.
