“Exploring the musical richness concealed in the works of Beethoven is not a finite task, but the most fascinating thing about his music is that it speaks so directly to us as human beings. He seems to be inspired first and foremost by man’s aspiration to be free, his insatiable desire to push back boundaries and to learn the truth about himself at the same time.” This is how the musicians of the Belcea Quartet describe their recording journey through the complete Beethoven quartets (Alpha). They will revisit this monumental corpus this season in a series of six Sunday concerts. In the fifth instalment, the musicians pursue their exploration of opus 18 and opus 59, whose modernity was underlined in the previous concert, and this morning they tackle the pinnacle of this cycle, Beethoven’s final quartets with the First Quartet from opus 127 in E flat major.
