Beethoven: String Quartet in C major, Op.59 No.3 (Razumovsky)
Faced with damning criticism from the musicians charged with playing his Razumovsky Quartets, Beethoven coolly replied 'they are not for you, but for a later age'. The intervening years have done nothing to dim their free-wheeling invention and emotional impact.
The third of these quartets concludes tonight's recital by experienced Beethoven interpreters the Tak谩cs Quartet. In the first half, they perform quartets from both ends of Beethoven's composing career: his sixth, Op18 No.6, already displaying a mastery of the medium, and sixteenth, Op.135, the last major work he completed.
