The Berliner Philharmoniker in Tokyo

With this edition, released on occasion of 20th anniversary of Belcea Quartet, EuroArts fills a niche for a high definition quality audiovisual production of Beethoven's String Quartets available both on DVD and Blu-ray The ensemble embarked on the complete cycle of Beethoven string quartets, playing the whole program within twelve days, recorded at the Wiener Konzerthaus in 2012, each concert featuring one work from the early, middle and late quartet, including perhaps the most exciting of all works by Beethoven: the op.133, the 'Grosse Fuge' which he wrote as the finale of the quartet op.130. 'This music, just sounds forever ' avant-garde ', I think in a way that perhaps no music written after the 'Grosse Fuge' manages to sound to this day' ,' explains viola player Krzysztof Chorzelski of the Belcea Quartet. In this recording Belcea Quartet performs the 'Grosse Fuge' in one piece with op.130, which makes this performance even more thrilling. .
