Beethoven: String Quartet, Op. 130; Grosse Fuge, Op. 133
Ludwig van Beethoven (Composer), Cleveland Quartet (Orchestra) | Format: flac
Morning coffee on the deck with Ludwig. A fine recording by the Cleveland Quartet, I put them up there with the Quartetto Italiano in their interpretation of Beethoven. And as it's a Telarc disk, the SQ is 1st rate. The 'woodiness' of the instruments is readily apparent, and this is a flac rip of the actual cd.
According to the liner notes, the oldest of the 4 instruments is from 1585, the 'newest' from 1783, I wonder what insurance is like for these instruments? I'd be too afraid to even hold them for fear I'd damage them somehow with my 'meatpaws'.
