Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Quatuor à cordes en ré majeur, op. 18 n° 3

Quartetto Di Cremona

Cristiano Gualco, violon
Paolo Andreoli, violon

To conclude their great Beethoven cycle, the Quartetto di Cremona have chosen two masterworks from the composer’s early and middle periods: the Quartet in D major, Op. 18 No 3, with its tempestuous final tarantella, and the “Harp” Quartet, Op. 74, which does not feature a harp but instead presents Beethoven on his way to modernism.
