Beethoven/Bartok/Dvorak: String Quartets

The Grammy Award-winning Juilliard String Quartet celebrates the 75th anniversary of its founding with a new recording from the heart of the quartet repertoire, featuring works by Beethoven, Bartók and Dvořák that resonate with the legacy of chamber music at the ensemble's home, New York's Juilliard School of Music.

Included are Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet in E Minor, Op. 59, the second of the composer's three "Razumovsky" quartets; Béla Bartók's String Quartet No. 3, Sz. 87; and Antonín Dvořák's String Quartet in F Major, Op. 96 "American."

This recording is the first by the Juilliard String Quartet to include Areta Zhulla, who became its first violinist in 2018. Like her colleagues - Ronald Copes, second violin; Roger Tapping, viola; and Astrid Schween, cello - Zhulla also teaches at the Juilliard School, where the ensemble is in permanent residence.
