Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
There are very few classical music recordings that can lay claim to be "the best." This is one of them. Since it was first issued in the early 1970s, this set has stood as the standard by which all other versions are measured, particularly in the middle and late quartets. Everyone acknowledges that there are more technically precise recordings--from before and after. Indeed, first violin Sandor Vegh's intonation has always been a bit suspect, but as with Maria Callas's singing, so profound is his musicality and insight that even the defects are turned to positive account as contributions to the performances' character. In short, no one who cares about this music can afford to be without this set. --David Hurwitz
