Yes, really, an incredible instrumental perfection (up to the perception of details never heard before), a quartet of perfection that comes from Juilliard and we hardly find at this level than in Hagen. Although some still prefer, or as in this training directory singing more in their family tree, in the words too devoted and a bit silly, such as Prague, the Stamitz or Vlach, their American quartet is absolutely fascinating, almost anxious, the tightrope of an obscure concern. Another great success, the quartet 14, of an amazing modernity (especially his molto vivave where easy folklorism really has no place). Note that the sound recordings in this set have different dates (and a volume level varies accordingly: low enough, for example, the American). And if that republisher gives us for once also a booklet with French translation (amazing!), It still fails once again present us a little bit interpreters and careers.
PS A good tip! non republished with us CD, rush also their integrals Schumann and Brahms, resumed licensed by American ArkivMusic.
Re PS A replay strange - for those who have a musical ear, near the pitch - that slight feeling of ineptitude in general, but especially in its first half at least, for the quartet 13. At one time, the least we have thought of some little band wow ...
Re re PS CD cases and style that should be permanently banned, small central teeth so hard, so hard 100% that it is virtually impossible to remove a disc. Once even it happened to me a CD and Cassat! But I agree that I was mightily annoyed me at the end.
