Beethoven: Complete String Quartets At The Philhar

Quatuor Ébène

Recorded in late 2020 at the Philharmonie in Paris, Quatuor Ébène's hometown, this complete DVD cycle of the Beethoven string quartets conducted by Sébastien Glas complements the full audio cycle recorded by Ébène in 2019 and early 2020; the CDs, titled Beethoven Around the World, drew on performances in Paris and six other major cities on five continents. The respected magazine The Strad summed up the effect of Ébène's approach to Beethoven-both exhilarating and illuminating-speaking of "white-hot interpretive intensity and imagination" as the players "peel away layers of stultifying accumulation and rediscover the shock value of this music for a contemporary audience ... they play not as they should, but as they feel they must."
