"The Tokyo is in a new era of musical power and finesse." – Los Angeles Times

The Tokyo String Quartet continues its complete Beethoven cycle with this third volume. Both the graceful Opus 74 (nicknamed "Harp" for its use of pizzicato) and Opus 95, with its quest for the essential, testify to the new maturity achieved by the composer around 1810.
