Quatuor Ebene - Beethoven Quartet Op. 59 No. 1, Op. 59 No 2 [CD]

In themselves, Beethoven's quartets represent an odyssey, a round-the-world voyage," says Quatuor Ébène. The French ensemble is marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth with a global tour of 21 countries. In the course of their Beethoven Around the World tour, the Ébène will make live recordings in seven different cities: Vienna, Philadelphia, Tokyo, Sao Paulo, Melbourne, Nairobi and Paris. This first release, recorded at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, comprises the first two 'Razumovsky' Quartets, op 59 No 1 and op 59 No 2.
