Four musicians pose with string instruments in front of a dark background. They wear black evening dress and hold a cello, two violins and a viola in their hands. They stand close together and look at the camera with a relaxed expression on their faces.

Info

“The Quatuor Ébène approaches Beethoven’s string quartets as if freshly discovered, with energy, care, and dedication,” praised Deutschlandfunk when the ensemble released its complete recording of Beethoven’s quartets. From this season onwards, the four musicians present the cycle in our Quartet series. The second programme features two contrasting works from the early Opus 18 – the lively and gallant A major quartet and the dark, dramatic E minor quartet. Added to this is the multi-layered Opus 127, which opens Beethoven’s late string quartets with lyrical intimacy and folkloric earthiness.
