The Miró Quartet, generally considered as one of the most impressive of US classical ensembles, makes its PENTATONE debut with a complete recording of the Beethoven string quartets. This collection offers the results of 15 years of playing and recording Beethoven, and not only anticipates the 2020 commemoration of the composer’s 250th birthday, but also the 25th anniversary of the Miró Quartet itself. The music is presented in a lavish boxset with a fresh, Miró-inspired graphic design of four circular paint brushes that symbolize the quartet’s four players, with the individual CD wallets creating a colourful narrative in line with Beethoven’s musical development.
