BEETHOVEN - STRING QUARTETS No.10 Op.74 Harp, No.11 Op.95 - COMPLETE STRING QUARTETS VOL. IV

A diptych (1809-1810) of Goethean mood, the opus 74 with its heroic tone contemporary with the «Emperor» piano concerto, the opus 95 with its final deriving its triumph willpower from Egmont ouverture, while the general surroundings are rather bitter. The Pražák give without consideration the moments of heartache as those of tenderness, of vehemence as of melancholy, eventually of serenity when «a divine hand lays on peace over a burning forehead».
