The Kuss Quartet are renowned for their penetrating and searching performances of quartet repertoire spanning Haydn through to Birtwhistle and Adés. Their Beethoven journey continues throughout this anniversary year with Beethoven performances around Europe. The recording has an interesting postscript – French composer Bruno Mantovani wrote is 6th string quartet for the Kuss Quartet. It is based entirely on material from each Beethoven quartet and is an affectionate tribute to the great man on his 250th birthday anniversary.
