Completed almost two centuries ago, Beethoven’s Op. 130 and its vast finale, the ‘Great Fugue’, stand as a timeless monument to the highest ambitions of human achievement.

Stravinsky considered the Grosse Fuge to be ‘an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever’, a view certain to be reinforced when the Signum Quartet presents the movement in its original context in this recital.
