Description:

A collection of arrangements of Beethoven's works. This album includes the "Variations on a Theme by Judas Maccabeus" and two songs arranged for chamber ensemble accompaniment by 20th century arrangers Tulcman and Ucki. Originally intended for piano and cello or piano and song, here you will enjoy a new sound that is different from the piano accompaniment. The last piece included is Beethoven's Seventh Quartet. This piece was later arranged by Beethoven himself into a piano trio version, but the variety of sounds in the original version is very attractive. The Turkish tenor Arja Yurek's sweet and taut voice is also a must-hear. The Ludwig Chamber Players is an ensemble of which concert master is Japanese violinist Kei Shirai. The ensemble also includes Gen Yokosaka on cello and Ryutaro Hote on double bass. Naxos Japan
