BEETHOVEN
Violin Sonata in F ‘Spring’ (26’)
String Quartet in C minor Op.18 No.4 (24’)
Septet Op.20 (40’)
The hopeful, energetic and lyrical ‘Spring’ Sonata is one of the most famous of all Beethoven’s works for violin, paired here with an intense and stormy early quartet.
Perhaps Beethoven’s most-performed work during his lifetime, the Septet features wind and strings in a marvel of instrumental writing. Captivating from the stately elegance of its opening to the rousing flourishes of its grand finale, this is music to lose yourself in.
