After all, of the four string quintets he composed, one is the single-movement Fugue, Op. 137—which is included on this album—and another, designated as Op. 4, is an arrangement by Beethoven (1770–1827) , and Op. 104 is an arrangement by someone else of his own Piano Trio, Op. 1–3. This means that the only true string quintet is Op. 29, written in 1800–01. Despite this classification, listening to this album will convince you that Beethoven by no means cut corners. It reaffirms the fact that simply adding a single viola to a string quartet can produce such a profound and ethereal timbre. And it renews my admiration for Beethoven’s meticulous compositional style. I was entranced by the magnificent performance woven together by the Fine Arts String Quartet and violist Sharon. And I was captivated by the fugue that races by at breakneck speed… This is truly music for connoisseurs.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.String Quintet in C major, Op. 29: 1.
