"To perform quartets with four instruments, all of equal values: that was an intention of Beethoven’s which the Auryn Quartet has consistently put into practice. Supported by recording technology which places each instrument at one speaker, the Auryn Quartet has successfully produced an interpretation of unparalleled transparency." (Stereo)
This DVD contains the complete music twice: first in Real Surround Sound (tracks 1 - 16) and then in Moving Real Surround Sound (tracks 17 - 32). The composition and interpretation are identical and unaltered as always.
