There are no actual harps in this quartet but listen out for the plucked strings in the first movement which sound enough like a plucked harp to earn the nickname. This is particularly vivid toward the end of the first movement where the strings converge in vibrant frenzy. Composer: Ludwig van Beethoven Performers: Danish String Quartet Recording date: 03 July 2015 Date of broadcast: 01 October 2015
