About

The Tokyo String Quartet continues its complete Beethoven cycle with this third volume. Both the graceful Op.74, nicknamed 'Harp' for its use of pizzicato, and Op.95, with its quest for the essential, testify to the new maturity achieved by the composer around 1810.

The Tokyo String Quartet has captivated audiences and critics alike since it was founded more than 30 years ago. Regarded as one of the supreme chamber ensembles of the world, the Tokyo Quartet has collaborated with a remarkable array of artists and composers, built a comprehensive catalogue of critically acclaimed recordings and established a distinguished teaching record. Performing well over a hundred concerts worldwide each season, the Tokyo String Quartet has a devoted international following that includes not only the major capitals of the world but also reaches all four corners, from Australia to Estonia, to Scandinavia and the Far East.

Tokyo String Quartet:
- Martin Beaver, Kikuei Ikeda (violins)
- Kazuhide Isomura (viola)
- Clive Greensmith (cello)

"this release makes one look forward to the Tokyo's completion of what is, so far, a formidable traversal." - International Record Review on their Op.18 discs
