CD Reviews

One of the top classic albums of 1994!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"
This set of String Quartets achieved an instantaneous cult status from its first release. This ensemble gave these last Quartets a mercurial approach, filled with a very strong presence that never shadowed its intrinsic lyricism.

You should notice that, in what concerns to intensity and vibrant expression we should get back to the early fifties when the majestic Konzerthaus gave us top notch performances of the whole corpus of these String quartets.

So I don't hesitate for a second at the moment to recommend you to acquire this set, which is absolutely indispensable in you collection, not only because its radiant significance, but we are talking about one of the great moments of the Western musical literature of any time.

A true musical gem!
