String Quartets (Complete) Vol. 1  String Quartets (Complete)
Vol. 1 by Ludwig van Beethoven Released: Mar 1993 Label: Naxos
The Kolady Quartet brings the ornery feel of mid-period
Beethoven into full color in their working of op. 59 no. 1. The
second movement starts daintily, with hints of Russian folk
melodies interspersed, but each reiteration of the theme gets
more aggressive. In 1806, these quartets pushed at the limits of
audience and performer, and Kolady works well in that spirit.
