Opus13 (Classical)
Description:
[Opus13, the rising star capturing the world’s attention, makes its debut with masterpieces by Mendelssohn and Grieg, the composers who inspired its origins!] Formed in Oslo in 2014 by young artists from Sweden and Norway, Opus13—a string quartet that has rapidly gained international acclaim after winning first prize at both the Wigmore Hall and Bordeaux International String Quartet Competitions in 2025—is set to make its highly anticipated debut. Having successfully completed their first tour of Japan in June 2026—featuring the works included on this album—Opus 13 now presents their landmark debut album, which is drawing intense attention from around the world. At the heart of the album is Mendelssohn’s String Quartet No. 2, the first piece the quartet performed together upon their formation and the origin of their name. The heartfelt passion and pure, delicate emotions expressed by the 18-year-old Mendelssohn resonate with fresh vitality through Opus 13’s vibrant interpretation, rooted in their deep understanding of the work. The following piece, Grieg’s String Quartet No. 1, has become their signature piece, having garnered rave reviews at competitions; during their Japan tour, it was praised as a “definitive and exhilarating performance that exemplifies the very essence of Grieg.” It is a concentrated blend of raw power and deep emotion reminiscent of the harsh Nordic landscape and folk songs, and their performance—infused with heartfelt empathy—brings out these characteristics to the fullest. The album concludes with the famous “Solveig’s Song,” arranged by the ensemble members themselves. Featuring an overwhelming sense of unity woven by rare, legendary instruments—including Stradivarius violins—and the tension and beauty born of young talent, this is a must-hear recording.
