Going Full Cycle
This week, the New York-based Lark Quartet plays what, it seems, every quartet must play periodically nowadays: all 16 string quartets of Beethoven. The twist is that there’s an extra quartet in the bunch: Beethoven’s so-called 17th quartet, a work that is a scant 22 bars long and discovered only in 1999. We get a taste of this unusual discovery on today as the Lark Quartet join us along with Dr. Susan Kagan, president of the American Beethoven Society at Hunter College. Also, we get a report from WNYC’s Elena Park on the new Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. The hall, which was designed by architect Frank Gehry, opened this past weekend with inaugural concerts by the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the sort of Hollywood-style buzz that Los Angeles usually reserves for Oscar night.
