The Juilliard String Quartet plays Beethoven and Widmann
Pierre Boulez Saal
120 Min
According to Jörg Widmann, Beethoven's Opus 130 represents the "string quartet of string quartets". His own Eighth and Tenth Quartets were written in response to the Viennese master's late work, in particular its famous slow movement, titled "Cavatina". In this unmissable concert from Berlin's Pierre Boulez Saal, the famed New York–based Juilliard String Quartet frames Widmann's "Beethoven Studies" with their historical model, including both its traditional version and the Grosse Fuge, the work's original finale – a fascinating juxtaposition of a 19th-century masterpiece and 21st-century music inspired by it.
