Driving on Illinois Route 130 yesterday, Elaine and I listened to Beethoven’s Quartet Op. 130. Not by design — 130 was just the next quartet in line. I’m listening to them all, and developing what may be a permanently dropped jaw. Boy, that Ludwig van Beethoven, he sure can write.
Here’s the recording we heard, by the Guarneri Quartet (Arnold Steinhardt, John Dalley, Michael Tree, David Soyer): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
I wonder if anyone else has ever listened to 130 on 130.

Beethoven in film tangent: https://www.henle.de/blog/en/2020/03/10/beethoven-in-film/
Thanks for that link. We have some beautiful Henle editions in the house.
Elaine suggests Late Quartet, not a bio, but Beethoven’s music is central.
