The San Francisco-based Cypress String Quartet (CSQ) concludes its cycle of the genre’s greatest oeuvre with this double album of Beethoven’s groundbreaking first six quartets. Produced by first violinist Cecily Ward, these quartets were recorded at Skywalker Sound in 2015 using a matched pair of Sanken CO-100K microphones. The completion of the Beethoven series is a fitting celebration of the ensemble’s 20th anniversary as well as its valedictory season: the CSQ's final performance took place in June 2016.
