Tribute Album to Beethoven with Brunello] Another elaborate album commemorating the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth is about to be born. Two master musicians, Kremer and Brunello, have teamed up with Cremelata Baltica to create a delightful string quartet version of Beethoven's late masterpiece, the String Quartet. In addition, two more recent works inspired by Beethoven are also included, which is an interesting way to delve into how the legacy of the Musikschichte has influenced us today. The main focus of the album is, of course, the two string quartets. No. 16, Beethoven's last coherent work, is performed under Brunello's direction. No. 14 is conducted by Kremer with Brunello playing the violin. The richness of these recordings is different from that of Bernstein's recordings with the Vienna Philharmonic, but Cremellata Baltica's singing, lively phrasing, and clear sound give us a wonderful impression of Beethoven's image as it is today. The performance is finished.The first piece recorded is by Leo Ferré, who was born in Monaco and worked as a chanson singer in France. He was an innovative thinker and seemed to have deep sympathy with Beethoven, as evidenced by his lyrics to the overture to \"Egmont\" and a video of him conducting the overture to \"Coriolan\". The work recorded here is the \"Shall it be so? The motif of this piece was inspired by the words \"Shall it be so? which was written in the autograph score of String Quartet No. 16. The text, uttered in Italian, is \"Where was the music? It should be with the people, not in a special place. Beethoven is in the streets! and so on. There are two versions, one in which Ferré himself conducts the orchestra and agitates, and another in which he plays the guitar and other instruments.The title of Sollima's work, which means \"hidden sound\" in Venetian dialect, is dedicated to Franco Rossi, cellist of the Italian String Quartet, Brunello's teacher and a native of Venice, who often told his pupils, \"Pay attention to the hidden sounds in the score. It was written for cello ensemble based on a treasure trove of phrases Sollima found in the \"Biblioteca Biamonti\", a catalog of Beethoven's unpublished works and scribbles, published in Turin in 1968. This recording is an arrangement for string ensemble. The fascinating musical ideas, which seem to be filled with Beethoven's ideas, appear one after another.
