Overview
Robert Simpson, the composer and critic, praisedBeethoven’s String Quintet in C major for its ‘breadthand economy of line’, while imploring performers toprogramme the piece more often. The Elias StringQuartet and Malin Broman, leader of the SwedishRadio Orchestra, offer a chance to hear why Simpsonwas so strongly supportive of this fine work.
