"I can not stop listening to anything recorded by the Takacs Quartet lately, and these cd's are no exception. I do not own the import double disc, but have the two separate discs with 1-3 on one and 4-6 on the other. That may be cheaper than this disc. I'm not sure. Anyways, as far as the music and recording goes I don't know that it gets much better that this. Like I said it seems to me anything the Takacs' touch turns to gold. The are extremely great players with a very intense sound. If you are a fan of Haydn I would seriously look into getting these quartets. They are arguably some of the most beautiful quartets written. Although I don't really like to compare music like that. But just listening to these pieces puts a smile on my face."
