By Belinfante Quartet, recorded in Muziekgebouw (Amsterdam, NL) in February 2021.

The string quartets of Joseph Bologne are bright and lively, and composed with a lot of creativity. Joseph Bologne (December 25, 1745 – June 12, 1799) was a virtuoso violinist, conductor and composer. Next to that, he was a champion fencer, a Parisian socialite, excelled in swimming and riding and fought in the French Revolution. Bologne's eventful life and his mixed-race background have inspired the imagination of writers and movie-makers, but his compositions are still due to be heard regularly.
