Beethoven – Complete String Quartets – Artemis Quartet

贝多芬：弦乐四重奏全集

路德维希·范·贝多芬 （作曲家）
阿耳忒弥斯四重奏 （表演者）

总部位于柏林的阿耳忒弥斯四重奏贝多芬弦乐四重奏全集是在1998年至2011年间录制的。这些唱片涵盖了人员的变动（小提琴和中提琴，2007年），乐队的小提琴手也在领奏和演奏第二小提琴之间切换。Artemis是一个技术资源丰富，音乐资源丰富的乐团。他们的演奏总是清晰的，他们在一些早期四重奏中一触即发的精致以一种振奋精神的方式特别吸引人。纯粹的即时性可以导致快速反应，使其具有紧张的高潮，而且强度是有说服力的。你可能会从他们处理Grosse Fuge的复杂对立面的清晰度中很好地了解他们的成就。

阿耳忒弥斯四重奏的大提琴手埃卡特·龙格（Eckart Runge）表达了演奏者对作曲家四重奏的看法：“他的音乐讲述了每个时代——这是传统与现代之间的完美对话，也是智力精致与原始情感之间的完美对话……与他生活的时代相比，贝多芬是最现代，最具挑衅性，实验性和最大胆的作曲家。许多人使用弦乐四重奏来实验，尝试和发展他们的作曲模式……但没有人比贝多芬更极端。即使在今天，Grosse Fuge仍然是有史以来最令人难以置信和最现代的音乐作品之一……无论形式多么复杂，人们总能在贝多芬身上找到人类必不可少的情感，无论是充满希望的渴望、忧虑、旺盛的喜悦还是害羞的感情。

《时代周报》观察到，阿尔忒弥斯四重奏是：“与同样完美水平的团体相比，这个乐团似乎从另一个层面接近曲目。许多四重奏在演奏中传达了一种空气，他们演奏了稀薄的工艺和与世界分离的精致。他们探索音符中的音乐。阿耳忒弥斯的成员是来自充实生活中的人，生活也是他们在贝多芬中所寻求的。（Die Zeit observed that the Artemis Quartet is: “An ensemble that, when compared to groups on a similar level of perfection, seems to approach the repertoire from another horizon. Many quartets convey an air in their playing of rarefied workmanship and detached refinement from the world. They explore the music within the notes. The members of the Artemis come as people who live life, and life is what they seek in Beethoven too.”）

有评论认为“阿尔忒弥斯四重奏的技艺与最精湛的竞争对手不相上下 – 他们的音乐性超过了所有其他乐团！”
