The effect of this originally intended version of the Quartets op. 41 is enormous; one hears connections between the two individual quartets and is astonished by their symmetrical design. A well-known work by Schumann becomes an entirely new experience through the addition of only four measures! The Beethoven Quartet couples this previously unheard composition by Schumann with Beethoven’s String Quartet op. 135. After its predecessors transcending every norm, this last string quartet completed by Beethoven again limits itself to the classical four-movement design. The end of Beethoven’s standardsetting string quartet production and Schumann’s exuberant debut in chamber music wonderfully complement each other. In addition to the Super Audio CD (in 2+2+2-SACD multichannel format) the edition contains a DVD video with a concert version of op. 135 and an exciting conversation between Georg Albrecht Eckle and Peter Gülke. Here more questions about composer, works, and date of composition are answered in inimitable fashion than one would have ever dared to ask. What a rich and vast find for every classical fan!
