The Castalian String Quartet at the Edinburgh International Festival
From the Edinburgh Festival 2023, the Castalian String Quartet perform Beethoven's String Quartet No 13 in B flat, Op 130, in a version including the original Grosse Fugue.
Recorded at the Queens Hall in Edinburgh, the celebrated Castalian String Quartet performs one of Beethoven鈥檚 last works. With its original Grosse Fugue finale, this third Opus 130 quartet is the longest and most complex that Beethoven wrote. The fifth movement 鈥楥avatina鈥� was considered such a significant piece of music, it was included on the Voyager spacecraft鈥檚 Golden Record.
