In this first of two concerts, the preeminent Emerson String Quartet performs the repertoire on which they have built their reputation: Beethoven.
They play the composer’s epic, forward-looking Op. 130 Quartet with its groundbreaking original ending, the Grosse Fuge. Stravinsky called the Grosse Fuge “an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever.” Hear the Emerson Quartet thrillingly underscore that truth.
