Customer Reviews

Beautiful, original, and insightful playing from one of today's finest chamber ensembles5
The Emerson String Quartet does not disappoint with its contributions to the classical period of string quartets. These well-known works sound entirely fresh, while remaining stylistically delightful. This disc is wonderful from start to finish.

Crisp and commanding!5
Bravo! An inspired performance of brilliant works can leave you breathless. This is one. Spirited, masterful, and exceptionally well balanced, this excellent recording reflects the passion of musician and engineer alike. Remember, too, that many great recordings of these quartets exist: To truly appreciate the classics it is essential to listen to interpretations by various artists.

A classic of the CD era5
This disc was one of the first classical discs I ever bought. Loved it then and I love it now. This version includes a extra work which is also rewarding. The Emerson String Quartet combine a strength of performance at the same time giving us subtle shades of color producing one of the supreme recordings of chamber music ever. Enthusiastic and sensitive interpretations rolled into one.
