Composer:
Ludwig van Beethoven

Artist(s):
Locrian Ensemble

Background: The three arrangements for string quintet on this recording were all made during Beethoven's lifetime, with his approval. Hearing these familiar works in unfamiliar chamber versions is a surprising experience. Music we know well is suddenly transformed into something fresh and novel, yet at the same time instantly recognizable.

Their musical argument is presented with a purity and directness that reveals its essential nature. The addition of a string quintet's beauty of tone, variety of colour and sustained cantabile quality to the Pathètique sonata adds an entirely new dimension to the work. This recording gives us insight into the way many musicians might have first heard these works during Beethoven’s lifetime.
