Beethoven: String Quartets No. 1-6, Op. 18

Tokyo String Quartet

2 CDs for 1

“…this new Tokyo set just about pips all rivals to the post. The reason is primarily one of balance, not only within the group itself but also in terms of overall musical judgement - whether relating to tempo, dynamics or emphases, or simply the way the players combine a sense of classical style with an appreciation of Beethoven's startling originality.” Gramophone Magazine, February 2008
