info

The Quatuor Ébène continues its Beethoven cycle on the 200th anniversary of the composer's death and, with this program, presents the entire spectrum of Beethoven's artistic development. In the early string quartets op. 18, Beethoven is still inspired by his teacher Joseph Haydn, but already shows an unmistakable signature. The sixth work in the cycle is characterized by its variety of moods — from melancholy to exuberance. With the late A minor quartet op. 132, Beethoven achieved a new, complex world of expression. The work became famous for the moving sentence “Sacred thanksgiving of a recovered person to the deity.”
