Excerpt:BEETHOVEN. String Quartet no.11 op.95, IV. Larghetto
The Tokyo String Quartet continues its complete Beethoven cycle with this third volume. Both the graceful op.74 (nicknamed ‘Harp’ for its use of pizzicato) and op.95, with its quest for the essential, testify to the new maturity achieved by the composer around 1810.
