Here at last is the collected edition of the recordings made between 2017 and 2020 by the Cuarteto Casals.
Acclaimed for their expressive intensity and commitment, these performances reveal all the modernity, freedom and humanity of this absolute peak of the repertoire.
To quote Gramophone Magazine, “The Casals present a compelling yet familiar picture of Beethoven, generating tension and taking a forensic approach to detail in the manner of a modern police procedural.”
