Beethoven: Hymn Of Thanksgiving (String Quartet Op. 132, Movement III) | Borromeo Quartet

This movement from Beethoven's String Quartet No. 15 in A minor, Op. 132, has been described as "Music in its purest form, that transcends time and space, style, and history." Beethoven himself gave it the descriptive title, "Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der lydischen Tonart" (Holy Song of Thanksgiving of a convalescent to the Deity, in the Lydian Mode).

Beethoven was giving thanks for recovering from a digestive ailment in the winter of 1825 that nearly cost him his life. We give thanks that he chronicled his recovery in this incredible music, and that our Ensemble in Residence, the Borromeo String Quartet, is on hand to perform it. From our "Beethoven Experience" cycle of both archival and freshly recorded performance of all of LBV's landmark string quartets, the Borromeo Quartet performs the movement in this excerpt from Episode IV: A Sacred Song of Thanks.
