Modigliani Quartet - Beethoven: The Complete String Quartets - Vol. 1 (CD)

The Modigliani Quartet begins a new recording venture with harmonia mundi: the first volume of the complete string quartets of Beethoven. Offsetting the young composer's Op. 18, Haydn's last Op. 77 quartets show the line of inheritance - and of emulation - linking master and pupil. This four-way dialogue is marked by elegance, profundity and expressive freedom, from one of today's greatest quartet ensembles.
