"When the Quatuor Ysaÿe dares . . . Twelve concerts LIVE in Paris! Played without a safety net at the Auditorium of the Musée d’Orsay! These were the conditions needed to recreate the uncompromising universe of the Beethoven quartets, a true musical Everest. Here, at the very peak of its art, the Quatuor Ysaÿe offers the final dazzling demonstration of the unique rigour and sensibility that for thirty years marked it out as one of the finest in the world."
