Ludwig van Beethoven, Melos Quartett - Die Späten Streichquartette The Late String Quartets
Review by Angie Close
The Melos Quartett's performance of Ludwig van Beethoven's Die Späten Streichquartette (The Late String Quartets) is a masterful interpretation of the composer's final works. The quartet's technical precision and emotional depth are on full display throughout the album, with each member bringing their own unique voice to the ensemble.
The first piece on the album, Opus 127, sets the tone for the rest of the collection with its hauntingly beautiful melodies and intricate harmonies. The quartet captures the piece's shifting moods with ease, from the mournful opening to the triumphant finale.
Opus 130, one of Beethoven's most complex quartets, is given a powerful performance by the Melos Quartett. The group expertly navigates the piece's intricate counterpoint and tricky rhythms, creating a mesmerizing listening experience.
The final piece on the album, Opus 135, is a fitting conclusion to Beethoven's string quartet legacy. The Melos Quartett's performance of this work is full of energy and passion, with each member contributing to the overall intensity of the piece.

About Ludwig van Beethoven, Melos Quartett
German composer and pianist, born in 1770 (baptized 17 December 1770) in Bonn, Germany and died 26 March 1827 in Vienna, Austria.
A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in classical music. Beethoven led Viennese Classicism to its highest development and paved the way for Romantic music.
Beethoven was the eldest son of a singer in the Kapelle of the Archbishop-Elector of Cologne and grandson of the Archbishop's Kapellmeister. He moved in 1792 to Vienna, where he had some lessons from Haydn and others, quickly establishing himself as a remarkable keyboard-player and original composer. By 1815 increasing deafness made public performance impossible and accentuated existing eccentricities of character, patiently tolerated by a series of rich patrons and his royal pupil the Archduke Rudolph.
Beethoven did much to enlarge the possibilities of music and widen the horizons of later generations of composers. To his contemporaries he was sometimes a controversial figure, making heavy demands on listeners both by the length and by the complexity of his writing, as he explored new fields of music.
