About

These are the famous, near legendary recordings from the seventies of the late Beethoven String Quartets by the LaSalle Quartet.

The Quartet was formed at the Juilliard School of Music in New York, taking its name from the LaSalle Street near the school where the four music students spent all of their time rehearsing string quartets. Upon graduation, the young musicians became quartet-in-residence at Colorado College and subsequently moved to Cincinnati where they are to this day resident string quartet of the College Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati.

Their album "The New Vienna School" containing the complete quartets of Schoenberg, Berg and Webern, created a sensation in the music world, winning the Grand Prix du Disque and four other international recording awards. TIME Magazine called the album "a landmark in recorded music."

In 1978, the LaSalle again won the Grand Prix du Disque, for this recording of the Five Late Quartets by Beethoven.

LaSalle Quartet:
- Walter Levin & Henry W Meyer, violins
- Peter Kamnitzer, viola
