Description:

Elliott Quartet's second CD! Again, Beethoven + Modern Works This is the Elliott Quartet's second CD, following their 2019 German Music Competition award-winning CD.Like the first CD (GEN 19661), this is a combination of Beethoven and modern works. The performance of Razumovsky No. 1, Beethoven's mid-period masterpiece, is a fine example of a modern string quartet's highly technical and precise ensemble, yet it is also bright, spontaneous, and full of energy. This performance will make anyone eagerly await the complete Beethoven string quartet cycle by the Elliott Quartet. The first theme of the fourth movement of Rasumovsky No. 1 is based on a Russian folk song, and Prokofiev's String Quartet No. 2 also uses a folk song from Narichik (near the Georgian border), where he was evacuated. The Elliott Quartet brilliantly combines Prokofiev's unique folkloristic music with modern harmony. Tobu Land System
