First volume of Beethoven's String Quartets survey by Narratio Quartet: the Six Quartets opus 18. Narratio Quartet plays on period instruments. But not only. They assume a radical position towards the performance practice. We experience a brand new listening thanks to the retrieval of long-time neglected attitudes: a more flexible concept of tempo, a restrained and cautious use of vibrato, the portamento as the main expressive tool. ?Two more boxes will follow: Middle String Quartets at the end of this year and Late String Quartets on Spring 2025
