A Pair of Contrasting Quartets
A sparkling party quartet by Carl Stamitz, and a brainy string quartet by Beethoven. We'll hear the Quartetto Colori play a Stamitz Quartet with their unusual line-up of two mandolins and two guitars, in concert in Eisenach, Germany. And Daniel Harding leads the Bavarian Radio Symphony in an orchestration of Beethoven's "Grosse Fuge."
