This is one of a set of Beethoven quartet recordings by the Ehnes Quartet. All have been strong, but this one is a standout, even among all the recordings of Beethoven's quartets on the market. The quartet is led by violinist James Ehnes, but there is nothing of the star musician-plays-chamber music here; the ensemble is superb. Ehnes provides, and draws from his other players, a rich sound that may remind older listeners of the Guarneri Quartet's Beethoven recordings of the LP era. The first movement of the String Quartet No. 12 in E flat major, Op. 127, has symphonic grandeur in its blank-chord second theme. The opening fugue of the String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 131 is highly expressive, in contrast to many contemporary recordings that treat this extraordinary movement in a formal way. This points to another coherent feature of the Ehnes Quartet's reading. Beethoven said about one of his late piano sonatas that he was writing music for the distant future, and the same is true of these quartets. The fugue in the C sharp minor quartet takes off from that in the Piano Sonata No. 31 in A flat major, Op. 110; it is not aimed at formality but at Romantic transcendence, and the Ehnes Quartet catches this. Moreover, the group clearly brings out the thematic connections between the first and last movements of Op. 131, something that would have seemed a good deal more striking to audiences of the 1820s than it does today. There's no word on how the Onyx label came to record at a college auditorium in the small Georgia city of Macon, but the sound is clear, and its dimensions are appropriate. A major Beethoven quartet release.
