CD Longplay
The Juilliard String Quartet is widely regarded as the foremost string quartet in the United States, with a distinguished history extending back fifty years. Gramophone raves, "The Juilliards offer a quiet eloquence that comes from the heart of the music. Technically, the playing is impeccable, with tone and texture..." This album highlights the late string quartets of Beethoven, works of extraordinary beauty and sophistication, revealing the remarkable Juilliard Quartet at its most charismatic. The recording is especially historic as it is one of the last to feature founding member Robert Mann on first violin.
