Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Peerless
This incredible music is available on numerous recordings. Some are good e.g. Busch, Lindsay. But none compare to those of the Italian Quartet. It is hard to believe that this recording of this music could ever be surpassed.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Beautiful

These two string quartets that Beethoven composed in his latter years are stunning and though every track on this CD is amazing the one track that stuck out to me the most was the third movement of the string quartet in A minor (op.132) the first time I heard this piece of music I was mesmerized.

At a cost of two CD's for the price of one, this is a terrific ... Read More
