Brentano String Quartet - Ludwig van Beethoven: The Late String Quartets Op. 127 & Op. 131 (2011) Music

Posted by ArlegZ at April 13, 2021

Founded in 1992, the New York-based Brentano Quartet is known for its interpretations combining perfect technique and matchless musicality. Those qualities are even more obvious in this series of late Beethoven quartets with this first volume bringing together the Op. 127 and 131. This pure crystal of intelligence and brilliance will doubtless constitute a milestone.

Recorded live at London’s celebrated Wigmore Hall, this captivating recital by Joyce DiDonato and the Brentano Quartet was conceived around Jake Heggie’s song cycle Camille Claudel: Into the Fire, a work written for DiDonato – she describes it as “one of most moving projects I’ve ever been part of”. Songs by Debussy and Strauss and a quartet movement by Guillaume Lekeu complete the programme, which prompted the Financial Times to write that “the beauty and range” of DiDonato’s singing “are surely now at their impressive peak.”

Brentano String Quartet - Mozart: String Quartets Nos. 19 & 16, K. 465 & 428 (2019) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Oct. 23, 2019

Founded in 1992, the Brentano String Quartet is named after Antonie Brentano, whom some historians believe was Beethoven’s “Immortal Beloved.” Its members – violinists Mark Steinberg and Serena Canin, violist Misha Amory, and cellist Nina Lee – teach at Princeton University, where the ensemble is in residence. The group plays the standard repertoire, though Renaissance music and modern avant-garde works are also featured on their programs. The Brentano Quartet has toured the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia, appearing at Carnegie Hall, the Library of Congress, Wigmore Hall, the Concertgebouw, the Konzerthaus, Suntory Hall, and the Sydney Opera House. The quartet recorded music for the 2012 film, A Late Quartet, and released several albums, primarily on the Aeon label.

For Gustav Mahler's 150th birthday, EMI has assembled a 16-disc box set of his complete works, including not only the ten symphonies, Das Lied von der Erde, and the song cycles, but also the early cantata, Das klagende Lied, and the extant movement from the Piano Quartet in A minor, two works which arguably can be called Mahler rarities. Having all these pieces together in one large collection is undeniably a great convenience, and many will consider buying this set not only for that reason, but also for the historic nature of the recordings. The roster of conductors features such legends as Sir John Barbirolli, Otto Klemperer, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Bruno Walter, George Szell, and Jascha Horenstein, along with later Mahlerians, Klaus Tennstedt, Sir Simon Rattle, and Carlo Maria Giulini, all of whom left remarkable recordings that still are essential listening.

Genre: Classical / Label: BIS

With the three piano trios Op. 1 Ludwig van Beethoven took a genre still largely associated with entertaining salon music, and raised it up to rival the string quartet. The works are innovative in form as well as in content – especially so in the case of the Trio No. 3 in C minor, Beethoven’s trademark key. It is therefore fitting that the Sitkovetsky Trio has chosen this work to open their cycle of the composer’s piano trios.
