Stunning and beautiful music excellently performed. The level of knowledge about the music of the 16th century has increased considerably in the last twenty years. Any notion that the instruments of that era were not highly developped is put ad absurdum by such recordings.

Bought the two at bargain price which the label offers whenever a new release is out:

Listened to this one on Spotify. Beautiful indeed!

Doesn't do it for me either... I hear Schubert but it is lacking air, understanding etc.

Being rather picky regarding Schubert and never found 100% satiesfactory Quartet recordings .... witnessed the lucid flow paired with immanent pain only via live concerts by the Viennese Alban Berg Quartett during the 1990's .... unfortunately - at this stage - the ensemble was not recorded (properly) .... profound memories remain....

Wow, thank you for this golden tip. Maybe this can warm your heart... So much better than the Borodin string quartet version.

This is the sumptuous Bruno Monsaingeon directed document from the mid 90`s - how could I forget .... the tension, the nuances, the playfulness, the frenzy and the translucent grief - its all in there ....
