String Quartets Nos. 9 & 10 [compact disc]
Beethoven, Ludwig van, 1770-18272011
Music
In mid-1987 the Amadeus Quartet (under the slightly differentiated name ‘Amadeus String Quartet’ to distinguish them from their Deutsche Grammophon recordings) went into the studio to begin a projected cycle of the complete Beethoven quartets. In the event, they are the last recordings ever to be made by the Quartet, for the death of Peter Schidlof resulted in the Quartet disbanding – and the end of a truly remarkable era of music-making. These ‘middle period’ quartets of Beethoven – two of his most popular – were recorded at a venue often used by Decca, the Church of St. Barnabas in London and the sound engineering is more homogenous, less first-violin centric.
