Beethoven: Complete String Quartets vol. 1

Cuarteto Casals

HMM 902400.02

Launching it's complete cycle of Beethoven's string quartets, the Cuarteto Casals presents this first installment featuring initial examples of the genre from each of the three key periods in the composer's career: his formative years, the socalled 'heroic' middle period, and that of his artisticmaturity. The ingenious juxstaposition shows how much his superhuman quest for perfection enriched a compositional language of breathtaking originality in tandem with a depth of expression without precedent in this genre, of which Beethoven is the uncontested master.
