Played with its intended finale, Beethoven’s String Quartet Op.130 represents one of the summits of the composer’s creative output. The Lindsays have lived with this music for a long time, and this intimate knowledge of the musical argument shines through this account. Every great quartet has attempted this piece, and here the Lindsays add their own interpretative stamp in no uncertain terms. In a piece which encompasses an entire lifetime of emotions, it is fitting that they are not afraid to stretch the music to its fullest extent: the second movement is a true Presto, scampering along at a tremendous rate, and the contrasts of the first movement are given their full due. They are at their finest in the mighty “Grosse Fuge” finale. Here Beethoven stretches quartet writing to its very limits (it still sounds modern, even today). The Lindsays display furious concentration and determination, while bringing an otherworldly quality to some of the quieter passages. They certainly refuse to apologise for the striking, sparse textures and the stark juxtapositions: the result is nothing less than triumphant. The alternative movement Beethoven provided because of the extreme demands of the “Grosse Fuge” is included on the disc along with a second performance of the preceding Cavatina.
