Following our tradition of exploring cycles of music in context, we
present a cornerstone of classical music and one of humanity's
greatest achievements. Takács violinist Edward Dusinberre on the
Beethoven Quartets: "Playing the works is a thrilling and daunting
experience. We feel like tennis players forced out of position,
obliged to draw on our physical and mental resources to raise our
game. We have rehearsed this music for many years, but performing a
Beethoven quartet still inspires an exhilarating sense of danger" (The
Guardian, London). Critic Alex Ross on the musicians: "The Takács
players have been recording the complete Beethoven quartets, and their
survey, now complete, stands as the most richly expressive modern
account of this titanic cycle" (The New Yorker). #BerkeleyRADICAL
