String Quartets Op.59 Nos. 1-3 Razumovsky

Album by Ludwig van Beethoven & Lindsay String Quartet

String Quartets Op. 59 Nos. 1-3 (the Razumovsky quartets) are a set of three string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven, composed in 1806. They exemplify Beethoven's middle-period expansion of the quartet genre, with extended movement structures, heightened technical demands, increased contrapuntal complexity and the incorporation of motifs associated with the Razumovsky commission, marking an important step in the development of his chamber music.
