The New Yorker: “Beethoven for One” boldly imagines a new kind of concert
Photo: Sarah Blesener
In a review for The New Yorker, critic Richard Brody describes his visit to 1014 on a cold November day as a remarkable experience: “what I got was an overwhelming new kind of concert, in some ways superior to the old one.”
He continues: “I’ve heard Beethoven performed in large and famous concert halls by some of the great quartets of the era (including the Juilliard, the Emerson, and the Takács); none came close to delivering the jagged immediacy and breathtaking intimacy of Saturday afternoon’s quartet.”
With Beethoven for One, 1014 brought live performance back to New Yorkers. A string quartet around cellist Jia Kim played all sixteen string quartets by Ludwig van Beethoven over the course of seven days. Adhering to social distancing and other pandemic safety protocols, only one person, couple, or household was allowed to listen to one movement. The short, but intense experience of live music just twelve feet away from the professional concert musicians, left the small audience stunned and sometimes in tears. With Beethoven for One, 1014 paid tribute to the maestro in the 250th year of his birth.
