Takács Quartet - Beethoven: Complete String Quartets
Album
The Takács Quartet, founded in Budapest, brought warmth and earthy rhythmic drive to their complete Beethoven cycle. The middle-period Razumovsky quartets, Op. 59, are the place to start: dance rhythms and grand lyrical lines played so richly that four instruments sound almost orchestral. Choose it if you want one set covering Beethoven's whole quartet journey.
