BEETHOVEN String Quartet No 8 in E minor Op 59 No 2 "Razumovsky"

With a growing reputation for the courage, vitality and intensity of its performances, Marmen Quartet is fast establishing itself as one of the most impressive and engaging new talents in the chamber music scene. This programme contrasts the romantic grandeur of Beethoven's second Razumosvsky Quartet with Japanese composer Tōru Takemitsu's dynamic, gestural work A Way A Lone.
