Episode 47 – Camden Shaw / Beethoven Complete String Quartets, Volume 2 — The Middle Quartets
On this episode of Classical Chicago, Dover Quartet cellist Camden Shaw joins Cedille President Jim Ginsburg in conversation about their upcoming album of Beethoven String Quartets.
The second installment of the Dover’s 3-part cycle features Beethoven’s Middle Quartets, which includes the three Op. 59 “Razumovsky” Quartets, infused with Russian folk tunes; the graceful “Harp,” Op. 74, named for its plucked string figures; and the intense Op. 95 “Serioso,” a forward-looking experiment that Beethoven originally intended “for a small circle of connoisseurs.”
