多利克弦樂四重奏

For this second volume of Beethovens string quartets, the Doric String Quartet has combined one middle period, one late, and two early quartets to create a programme that works on its own terms, as well as forming part of the complete cycle. The musicians start off with a vivid performance of Op. 18 No. 2, following it with the Quartet, Op. 130, in which, as finale, they perform the GroBe Fugue (Op. 133), as Beethoven long contemplated it. They have appended the alternative finale, first published with Op. 130, thus allowing the listener to choose either version. Op. 18 No. 5 in A major is then followed by Op. 59 No. 2 in E minor. Op. 18, Beethovens first set of quartets, often show influences from the quartets of Haydn and Mozart, albeit very much filtered through Beethovens original artistic sensibility. The second set, the three 'Razumovsky Quartets, Op. 59, was written in a golden period of the composers creative life (alongside the Fourth Symphony, Violin Concerto, and Fidelio) and shows both development from the earlier set and a powerful distinctness. Although mis-understood (or found incomprehensible) by their first audiences, Beethovens late quartets have become universally admired as among the pinnacles of western art music. Stravinsky considered the GroBe Fuge 'an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever.
