When Count Razumovsky, the Russian ambassador in Vienna, commissioned Beethoven to write a set of quartets, he asked for music that evoked his homeland with folk-song melodies. What he got instead were three pieces of such compositional bravura and epic scope that they elevated the genre and changed music history. A group that plays with “explosive vigor and technical finesse” (The New York Times), the Miró Quartet is an apt match for these epochal works.
