Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Budapest String Quartet

String Quartets Op. 59 Nos. 1 and 2 are chamber works by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806 as part of the Razumovsky set. They typify Beethoven's middle-period expansion of the string quartet form, combining broad-scale development, intense contrasts of mood and dynamics, and the incorporation of motifs inspired by Russian themes, marking an important step in the evolution of his chamber music.
