Mendelssohn String Quartet: With Sanford Sylvan, baritone

The Mendelssohn String Quartet has earned a reputation as one of the most imaginative, vital, and exciting quartets of its generation. "Refined sound and passion coupled with full blooded musicianship that breathes life out of every pore of the music and a sense of risk-taking give their performance an exciting edge." (The New York Times) Of renowned baritone Sanford Sylvan, the Los Angeles Times has written "Sylvan is a treasurable singer; he unapologetically makes beautiful and varied sounds, colors words and utilizes a broad dynamic range to expressive ends. Hearing him is a pleasure; understanding him is a joy."
