The fourth installment of the renowned Prism project by the Danish String Quartet unites Bach fugues, Beethoven quartets, and works by other important composers. This edition combines Bach's G minor fugue from the Well-Tempered Clavier, arranged by Emanuel Aloys Förster, with Beethoven's String Quartet Opus 132 and Mendelssohn's String Quartet No. 2 from 1827. The recording was made in the historic Reitstadel Neumarkt and is being released to coincide with the ensemble's major American and European tour. In his liner notes, Paul Griffiths emphasizes that the works are brought to life with particular impact through the exceptional precision and brilliance of the Danish musicians.
