Immediately upon their debut at the 1969 Marlboro Festival, four brilliant young American musicians calling themselves the Cleveland Quartet were hailed as a chamber ensemble of exceptional quality. Over the next quarter century, they performed on every continent, including nearly 30 complete Beethoven cycles in the US and Europe. At their peak, the Cleveland Quartet gave more than 100 concerts a year. They became the first classical artists to play on the televised Grammy awards and performed at the White House for President’s Carter inauguration.“A quartet in the great tradition,” declared Stereo Review’scritic, commenting on the Cleveland’s Beethoven for RCA Victor, their exclusive label between 1972 and 1987. Most of the ensemble’s recordings for RCA had never appeared on CD. Sony Classical is pleased to offer ten critically acclaimed individual albums as single albums (not a box-set).
