About

This is volume eight of The Leipzig String Quartet's nine-disc survey of Beethoven’s Quartets.
 
This disc presents two works from the composer’s middle period. Russian melodies lend a special touch to the third movement of Op.59 no.2 and this work has a particularly symphonic feel – it was during this period that Beethoven began to experiment with compositional technique, sound and form.
 
The Op.95 work is very rhapsodic with changing moods and highly expressionistic traits – Beethoven later deleted its original title “Quartetto serioso”.
 
The Leipzig String Quartet has reaped enthusiastic reviews for its immense repertoire recorded for MDG. The previously released Beethoven volumes have also won these musicians the highest praise.
