The Emerson String Quartet for Best Classical Album

I can’t say that I follow the Grammy Awards very closely but it is worth mentioning that The Emerson String Quartet has been nominated (again) for Best Classical Album and Best Chamber Music Performance. This time they are on the list for their epic recording “Mendelssohn: The Complete String Quartets” (Sämtliche Streichquartette) on Deutsche Grammophon.

This is a brilliant recording that shouldn’t be missed, and would be an exciting buy for the listener not yet familiar with Mendelssohn’s lesser known string quartets. Incidentally ESQ also includes a recording of the Octet in E flat, Op.20 recorded in two seperate sessions

If they win, it will be the seventh Grammy for the group.
