Beethoven: The Complete String Quartets

Available again for the Beethoven Year 2020, now in a re-packaged polybox version with new UPC. This Belcea Quartet box brings a high-definition audiovisual reference recording of Beethoven´s Complete String Quartets to the market!

Since 2006, the only filmed concert performance of Beethoven's quartets available has been the Alban Berg Quartet's DVD in 4:3 format. With this edition EuroArts fills a niche for a high definition quality audiovisual production of Beethoven´s String Quartets.

The ensemble embarked on the mammoth task of playing the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle within a space of 12 days, recorded at the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2012. Every concert featured one work each from the early, middle and late quartets, including perhaps the most exciting of all works by Beethoven: the Opus 133, the "Große Fuge" which he wrote as the finale of the quartet Opus 130. "This music, just sounds forever « avant-garde », I think in a way that perhaps no music written after the "Große Fuge" manages to sound to this day", explains the quartet's viola player Krzysztof Chorzelski. In this recording, the Belcea Quartet performs the "Große Fuge" in one piece with Opus 130, which makes this performance even more thrilling.

This extraordinary edition not only includes the Belcea's complete recordings of String Quartets from Vienna Konzerthaus but also a 47-minute bonus documentary "On the Paths of the Beethoven String Quartets" which brings us closer to the ensemble´s reflections on Beethoven´s quartets as well as on this unique project.
