"Editor's Choice ... the Cecilia prove to be compelling advocates. They find a fine balance between the composer’s skittish qualities and his tenderer side, resulting in notably open-hearted readings ... highlights are many ... a terrific achievement."
- Gramophone
The award-winning Cecilia String Quartet, based in Toronto, presents two out of the three quartets that make up Felix Mendelssohn's Opus 44, considered the centrepiece of mature string quartets.
"... (these two works) are incredibly dramatic and alive. They have a certain electricity that we wanted to zap the listener with. We wanted to challenge how people feel about the music of Mendelssohn. I see intrigue, beauty and excitement in his music and I seek to pull these qualities off the page and bring them to life."
- Sarah Nematallah, violinist
