While the ABQ has generally been my favorite quartet, I am quite taken by the Quatuor Mosaiques. After following the scores to their recordings, it's hard to go back.
Budapest SQ for a complete live set.
Hungarian SQ for a complete recorded set.
Capet and Busch for "historical".
Flex: interesting about liking the ABSQ but not the ESQ.
Is there a particular reason. The clarity and the muscular
presentation of ESQ are more in tune with what I thought Beethoven would have wanted. I am not saying I like one over the other; in fact I like the fluidness of the ABSQ's interpretation.
Busch Quartet...no other comes close...of course you need to put up with Mono sound...the performances are nothing short of magic!
