Beethoven / Fine Arts Quartet / Sharon - String Quintets - Music CD

One of the best-kept secrets of chamber music, Beethoven' String Quintet in C major, Op. 29, was written between the well-known 'early' and 'middle' string quartets. This strangely neglected masterpiece of startling originality is coupled here with Beethovens own transcription for string quintet of his early Piano Trio in C minor and the Fugue in D major, a musical curiosity written as an inducement to his publisher to make fewer printing errors.
