Beethoven: The 'late' Quartets / Tokyo Quartet

Tokyo String Quartet

Beethoven: The 'Late' Quartets - Opp.127, 130, 131, 132, 135 & 133 Grosse Fugue

The Tokyo String Quartet completes its acclaimed Beethoven cycle with the composer's valedictory quartets of 1825-26. As he looked ahead to structures and soundworlds then unimagined, and glanced back to the bedrock counterpoint of Western music, Beethoven turned inwards to his well of experience, much of it harsh, from which he drew this music of transcendent power.
‘The Tokyo's Beethoven is both grounded and weightless, carved in granite and floating on air.' – The Boston Globe
