"Genau wie im Volume I musiziert das ‘Quartetto di Cremona’ mit einer packenden Kompromisslosigkeit. [...] Hier entsteht definitiv eine Referenzaufnahme." (Pizzicato)
"Audite’s second volume of Beethoven’s String Quartets confirms our high expectations raised when we listened to the first one. This will undoubtedly be a reference recording!" (Pizzicato)
After the successful first disc in their series of the complete Beethoven String Quartets with three works from the composer’s most important periods, the Quartetto di Cremona now concentrates on two crucial developments in Beethoven’s œuvre: the invention of a quartet style whose eccentric and demanding character can only be mastered by first-rate musicians (Op. 59 No. 2); and the beginning of his late period (Op. 127) where Beethoven reaches the limits of contemporary musical language.
