Quatuor Ebene Beethoven Quartet Op. 59 No. 1 Op. 59 No 2 CD

In themselves, Beethoven's quartets represent an odyssey, a round-the-world voyage," says Quatuor ?b?ne. The French ensemble is marking the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth with a global tour of 21 countries. In the course of their Beethoven Around the World tour, the ?b?ne will make live recordings in seven different cities: Vienna, Philadelphia, Tokyo, S?o Paulo, Melbourne, Nairobi and Paris.
