Vega plays Beethoven & Garner
Vega plays Beethoven & Garner
This recording includes Beethoven's Quartet in F, op. 59 no. 1 as well as David Kirkland Garner's 2009 work, i ain't broke (but i'm badly bent): thirteen fiddle tunes for string quartet. These two pieces were composed almost exactly 200 years apart, yet together they demonstrate the breadth of expression possible within the quartet genre.
