The year 2020, the year that marked the # 250yearssinceBeethovenwasborn, stimulated musicians from all over the world, bringing by interpretation the well-known works, but also less known and sung on stage, offering them to the general public. Even in the conditions of the sanitary crisis we are all going through, because the music has not stopped. He continued from the Virtual Room.

Thus, under the ages of the #At your home philarmoniccampaign, the Brasov Philharmonic Quartet, Gaudeamus Quartet (Lucia Neagoe - violin I, Raluca Irimia - violin II, Leona Varvarichi - viola and Ștefan Neagoe - cello) transmitted, in a number of 8 recitals, Integral of the String Quartets of the great composer.

"To make such an interpretation is different. In the quartets, Beethoven made a kind of laboratory that he could not afford in an orchestra. In the Symphonies he kept the structure clear, in the quartets he experimented from 4 parts to 6 or even 7 parts, with different moods, with different tempo changes, which chamber music does not allow so easily. After Beethoven, very few dared to compose such works, such as string quartets.

Beethoven's string quartets are difficult. It is even known that, in the world, very few quartets have succeeded in this. "(Ștefan Neagoe)
