Founded in 1992, the New York-based Brentano Quartet is known for its interpretations combining perfect technique and matchless musicality. Those qualities are even more obvious in this series of late Beethoven quartets with this first volume bringing together the Op. 127 and 131. This pure crystal of intelligence and brilliance will doubtless constitute a milestone. “What is so satisfying about these performances recorded at Princeton University is the overall warmth of the playing, with speeds ideally chosen and never forced, with natural rubato and shading, and with wonderfully sustained pianissimos...This is a disc that makes one want to hear the Brentanos in the other late Beethoven quartets. Anyone who fancies this generous coupling need not hesitate.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2012 “This was Beethoven breaking new ground with the first of what he categorized as his 'late' quartets [Op. 127]. The Brentano Quartet tries to emphasize the shock...It is an understandable approach, but it does sound rather overdone...The Brentanos seem more naturally at home with the great C sharp minor Quartet...It is a splendidly conceived and splendidly executed performance.” International Record Review, February 2012 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

“Valentin Berlinsky, cellist and founding member of the quartet in 1945, has been waiting to make this set his whole career, and calls it ‘the great dream of my life: to play all Beethoven’s quartets from first to last’. A worthwhile dream. Each of the volumes in the set thus far have been invested with palpable love… the playing here is uniformly committed – and a joy.” American Record Guide | |

“A single word for these performances might be 'passionate' …heartfelt playing and stimulating listening.” New York Times “An exceptional Beethoven series… The performances are of a consistency in depth and variety of tone, in musical concentration and sheer freshness of interpretation, which makes other digital cycles by more familiar names seem pale by comparison.” The Times | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
