Prism II
The Danish String Quartet’s 'Prism' project connects one of Beethoven's late string quartets with a fugue by J.S. Bach and a related modern work. This, the second volume, feature’s Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 12 in B flat major op. 130, concluding with its original finale, the huge and complex Große Fuge op. 133. By pairing it with Bach's Fugue in B flat minor from The Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 and Alfred Schnittke's Quartet No. 3, the Danish String Quartet aims to demonstrate the wide variety of music 'split through Beethoven’s prism'.
