The Grand Fugue Op. 133, which was the original finale of musician Ludwig van Beethoven's Quartet Op. 130, and which for some listeners remains formidable and difficult to grasp even after other works of this last period are accessible, has been recorded for Columbia by the Busch Chamber Players. The Budapest Quartet of ten years ago recorded the performance that can still be listened to, but this is a piece of music which gains by the greater weight of sound from the larger group of players, and even apart from that the Busch performance is a good one.
