Beethoven’s quartets contain some of the greatest, most enigmatic music ever written. They have been subjected to the closest scrutiny by the world’s leading musicologists in an effort to ascertain exactly what the composer’s intentions were when he wrote this music, and to capture it's essence. There are, of course, many fine recordings of the quartets, but the Borodins’ cycle is rather special. Established in 1945, the Quartet has sixty years’ experience of music-making at the highest level (one of its founding members, cellist Valentin Berlinsky, is still part of the Quartet).Their many years together enable them to play with a seemingly telepathic empathy, making the Borodin Quartet’s interpretations of these string quartets a unique experience.
