Of Beethoven’s works it’s his last string quartets that move me the most. In fact the effect is so intense I limit myself to how often I go there. The recordings of his last quartets by the Fine Arts Quartet made in the late 1950s and early 60,s are still at the top of my list. With only a few exceptions most other versions/recordings strike me as idiosyncratic and wrong.
