Quatuor Ébène

Beethoven’s radical transformation of the string quartet as a genre for the expression of profound human emotions speaks with overwhelming force Quatuor Ébène’s programme. The French ensemble continues its Beethoven series at Wigmore Hall with the first of three works commissioned by Count Andreas Razumovsky in 1805, following its complex musical argument with the transcendental power of the composer’s Op. 130 with its original finale, the Everest-like ‘Great Fugue’.
