Pacifica String Quartet performs Mendelssohn

Podcast Episode Summary

Mendelssohn used his own song as a theme throughout this beautiful string quartet.  It asks the question, “Is it true that you wait for me each evening under the arbor – that you ask the moon and the stars about me? Is it true?  Oh, tell me!”
