This album showcases two distinct yet harmoniously connected facets of Beethoven's musical prowess: the intimate, intricate dialogues of his String Quartets in G Major, Op. 18 No. 2, and the grand, majestic sweep of his Piano Concerto No. 5 in E-Flat Major, Op. 73, affectionately known as the "Emperor."
The String Quartets, Op. 18 No. 2, are a testament to Beethoven's early mastery of chamber music, each movement a study in contrast and cohesion.
