Founded by violinist Anton Steck in 1996, the ensemble offers a delightful experience with their intellectually stimulating concert programs and recordings, whose connections to other arts are completely fascinating. So too is their current album with it's snapshots of early 19th century Vienna. Beethoven's unruly and ironic \"Quartetto serioso\" Op. 95 is paired with a quartet by the French violinist Pierre Rode, for whom the master had written his last violin sonata Op. 96 in 1812. Consequently, this work is also recorded here - not in the original, but in an astonishing quartet version that Beethoven's pupil and friend Ferdinand Ries arranged. And so it sounds almost a bit like Dvorak\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 String Quartet No. 11 in F minor Op. 95~Allegro con brio \u003cbr\u003e1.2 String Quartet No. 11 in F minor Op. 95~Allegretto ma non troppo \u003cbr\u003e1.3 String Quartet No. 11 in F minor Op. 95~Allegro assai vivace ma serioso \u003cbr\u003e1.4 String Quartet No. 11 in F minor Op. 95~Larghetto espressivo - Allegretto agitato \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 10 in G major Op. 96~Allegro moderato \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 10 in G major Op. 96~Adagio espressivo \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Sonata for Violin and Piano No. 10 in G major Op. 96~Scherzo.
