The hallmark of Haydn's last string quartet is the sense of sublime conversation, wit, and timing, with all four "characters" in the drama taking part in the fascinating twists and turns. Twenty years later, Beethoven turned to the string quartet in his last years, creating a kind of spiritual diary that still rates as one of the most profound artistic statements in any form.

Featuring Renaud Lapierre and Leonardo Perez, violins; Elizabeth Upson Perez, viola; Hilary Brown, cello
