Beethoven and Poetry

It was an experiment in words and music, from a concert this summer by the Miro Quartet and American poet Matthea Harvey. She chose poems to go with each movement of Beethoven's Quartet No. 16, and read her work before each movement. The Miro Quartet gave a visceral, energetic performance, framed by Harvey's words. We'll hear it exactly as it happened.
