String quartets 3, 8 & 11, anger and sadness

‘The Quartet is written for a small circle of connoisseurs and is certainly not intended to be performed in public,’ wrote Beethoven about his Quartetto serioso. But those who dare to listen to it will nevertheless be greatly rewarded, because one cannot possibly be left unmoved by this extremely compact music.

Review

Gramophone

"This acute sense of emotional timing distinguishes the Ébènes from many of their contemporary rivals. They present Beethoven unburdened by the weight of history or hindsight, leaving the quartets to unfold at the pace of their own narratives."
