This monumental release documents the Emerson String Quartet’s exceptional longevity and dynamism – founded in 1976, they are still as youthfully active and inquisitive as ever more than 40 years later. Moreover it charts the New York-based ensemble’s musical breadth, encompassing virtually all of the important repertoire for their formation. This 55 CD collection includes their complete output on DG and features highlights such as the nine Grammy awards, 2 Gramophone Magazine Awards; complete cycles by Shostakovich, Beethoven and Bartók; plus String Quartets by Haydn, Tchaikovsky, Schubert; The DECCA Gold Album Chaconnes and Fantasias: Music of Britten and Purcell and the The New York Concert with Evgeny Kissin (2CDs). Also included is a Bonus CD with Encores and Audio Guides.
