The Ebene Quartet plays two youthful Beethoven string quartets, recorded at last year's Schwetzingen Festival in Germany

Although radiating vitality and exuberance, this renowned French ensemble has been together for more than two decades, managing still to retain freshness of approach and individuality of interpretation. Culminating in what was his 250th anniversary year, the Ebenes recently toured the world with the quartets of Beethoven, recording the cycle in a critically-acclaimed CD set. Here, the group present two contrasting works from the composer's first set of quartets, published in 1801 when Beethoven was not quite thirty years old
