“With his sixteen string quartets, Beethoven forged the backbone of this repertoire. The six quartets of Opus 18 show the composer’s mastery of the classical form. In contrast, the five middle quartets burst this form, with a very free treatment of the instruments and their development. Most profoundly and spiritual, the late quartets went far beyond what people were ready to hear at that time and are still intellectually challenging. This luxury Belcea Quartet Box brings a new high-definition audiovisual reference recording of Beethoven's Complete String Quartets!With this edition, released on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Belcea Quartet, EuroArts fills a niche for a high definition quality audiovisual production of Beethoven's String Quartets available both on DVD and Blu-ray.The Belcea Quartet is well-known for its dynamic and compelling interpretations. The ensemble embarked on the complete cycle of Beethoven string quartets, playing the whole program within twelve days, which brings a freshness to their interpretation of Beethoven’s string quartets, and draws forth a great range of colours, from sweetness to strength, from solemnity to impetuous force.Recorded at the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2012, with each concert featuring one work 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 viola player Krzysztof Chorzelski of the Belcea Quartet. 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, released in a luxury hinged lid box, also includes a 47 minute bonus documentary 'On the Paths of the Beethoven String Quartets', directed by Jean Claude Mocik, which brings us closer to the ensemble's reflections, both on Beethoven's quartets and on this unique project.“ (Covertext)
