Hailed for their outstanding musicianship, the Arianna String Quartet – violinists John McGrosso and Julia Sakharova, violist Joanna Mendoza and cellist Kurt Baldwin – has firmly established itself as one of America's finest chamber ensembles. Their performances have been praised for “tonal warmth, fastidious balance…expressive vitality” (Chicago Tribune) and “emotional commitment and fluent virtuosity,” (Pretoria News, South Africa). This double-disc set finds the group initiating a complete Beethoven String Quartet cycle with the earliest of the quartet opuses, Op. 18/1-6.
