Beethoven: Middle Quartets

SKU: 01801

Price:
AU $40.86

Label: Decca Cat. No.: 470 847-2 Medium: CD No. Discs: 2

The first of three releases in which the Takacs Quartet perform the complete Beethoven String Quartets, this is a much-anticipated recording played by one of the foremost string quartets of our time.

The Takacs Quartet thrilled the critics with their Bartok quartet cycle released in 1998. The set won a Gramophone Award and was nominated for a Grammy.

Now the Takacs have embarked upon Beethoven's complete string quartets, the pinnacle of chamber music repertoire. This first set to be released contains the middle string quartets (op.59 and op.74). Then will come the early quartets (in 2003), followed by the late quartets, plus Op.95 and the Grosse Fuge (in 2004).

The Op.59 quartets were commissioned in 1806 by Count Andreas Razumovsky, the Russian ambassador in Vienna, a great music lover who sometimes played second violin himself. The "Harp" Quartet, Op.74, was written in 1809 and dedicated to Prince Lobkowitz. Though written at a time of war, the quartet is one of his most gentle.
