Mahler: Rückert Songs & String Quartets by Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Hefti
When Felix Mendelssohn’s sister Fanny died unexpectedly in 1847, the composer confessed to feeling “the greatest emptiness and barrenness in my mind and heart.” He poured his grief into his F-minor String Quartet, which was to remain the last quartet he completed before passing away himself just a few months later.

STREICHQUARTETT DER STAATSKAPELLE BERLIN & MOJCA ERDMANN
The Berlin Staatskapelle String Quartet combines this instrumental requiem with Gustav Mahler’s Rückert Songs—works that also talk about love and leave-taking—in an arrangement for string quartet and soprano, with Mojca Erdmann as the soloist. Schubert’s youthful G-minor Quartet, written when the composer was just 18 years old, completes the program.
- Franz Schubert - String Quartet in G minor D 173
- Gustav Mahler - Five Songs on Poems by Friedrich Rückert, Arrangement for Soprano and String Quartet by David Philip Hefti
- Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy - String Quartet in F minor Op. 80
