Background: With performances in practically every major city in North and South America, Europe, the Far East and Australia, the Vermeer Qt has achieved an international stature as one of the world's finest ensembles. Beethoven's string quartets are among the greatest works of the genre.

'The Vermeer Qt, not content with unusually precise and accomplished ensemble playing or a standard of musicianship in which imagination assumes as much importance as integrity, managed to convey a rare insight into these works that makes the prospect of hearing a complete (Beethoven) cycle at their hands a most appealing one. The blend is rich but never bland because the individual timbre of each voice is maintained at the expense of unity, and the resulting sound is vibrant, colourful and infinitely flexible.' - The Strad.
