Friedrich Gernsheim - String Quartets Vol. 1
Diogenes Quartett
via Qobuz




A newly discovered composer for me.
He was also a talented musician.

On 5 May 1850 he gave his concert début in Frankfurt City Theatre at the age of eleven, playing Hummel’s A-minor Piano Concerto as a pianist and the Mendelssohn Concerto as a violinist, followed by the première of an overture from his own pen.

I read his biography in the CD booklet.
Wow!

These are nice pieces, that I'm going to revisit.
