Beethoven String Quartet in E minor, Op. 59 No. 2, ‘Razumovsky’
“Impassioned, precise and brilliant” (Boston Globe), the DSQ brings youthful imagination and superb craft to such mainstays as Beethoven’s bracing, soulful E-minor quartet. These three Danes and one Norwegian, whose friendship began in pre-teen summer music camp, also capture the sound of Scandinavia in works by contemporary composers like Rolf Wallin, and in luscious arrangements of sprightly, keening folk tunes from their homelands.
