    Overview

    The String Quartet in C sharp minor conveys what the critic Martin Cooper memorably described as ‘a kind of awe, that sense of wonder that [Beethoven] shares with the great poets and mystics and never lost at the end of his life’.

    The Cremona Quartet, hailed by The Strad for its ‘extremely mature and lyrical sound’, prefaces this lunchtime performance with Webern’s Brahmsian Langsamer Satz.
