This is for all your thoughts re: the late period words of Beethoven, defined as:
Cello Sonatas Op. 102, 1 & 2
Piano sonatas Op. 101, 106 (Hammerklavier), 109, 110 & 111
Bagatelles, Op. 119 & 126
Diabelli Variations, Op. 120
Missa Solemnis, Op. 123
Symphony No. 9, Op. 125*
String Quartet Op. 127, 130, 131, 132, & 135.
*Please keep all comments about the overexposed "Ode to Joy" to an absolute minimum, unless you have something original to say.
The highlighted pieces are some of my favorites but then again the string quartets are terrific.
This is my favorite performance of Opus 132: http://www.sa-cd.net/showtitle/2811
I have seen the Fry Street Quartet in person and they are terrific. My friend Ray Kimber recorded this disc and it sound terrific.
