Not much to say about this collection. In my opinion, the late quartets of Beethoven are among the very greatest pieces of music ever composed. The performances here are superb. In answer to his publisher's puzzlement about this music, Beethoven replied to the effect that these quartets were not written for his contemporaries, but were meant for future generations. There is depth, subtlety spirituality and quirkiness here. Enjoy!
