Its on my list for this Fall, the recording has some very good reviews. There is another recording by a group called the Fanny Mendelssohn Quartet, but I think I will go for the above. I have their recordings of the Debussy and Ravel Quartets and the Mozart #21, and I like them very much.
It has the same light delicate texture with a depth of melancholy beneath as she brother's quartets. Felix's quartets are some of my favourite in the repertoire but I haven't listened to Fanny's single quartet nearly enough. Another work of hers that I don't think gets nearly enough exposure is the long solo piano piece The Year. Pretty without being overly saccharine as quite a bit of lesser known romantic music from that era is.
