hvbias Posted January 3, 2019 Report Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Besides Vegh, Quartetto Italiano and Budapest I am interested in exploring some other complete sets of Beethoven's string quartets. Are there any that can hang with those three? Or any individual CDs (or smaller sets) that are just as good. I have heard Takacs and Emerson, IMO not for me. Edited January 3, 2019 by Deepak Quote

Several years ago, after a good deal of comparative listening and somewhat to my surprise, I settled on the Guarneri (RCA), now o.o.p. OTOH, the last time I looked, their early, middle and late LP sets can be found on Amazon at modest prices; CDs, I dunno. Their later Beethoven traversal on Phillips I haven't heard. Quote

Surprised she's not more popular. I grant that she takes some interpretive liberties, but have always enjoyed her playing. Quote

mikeweil Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 Richard Mudge – Six Concertos In Seven Parts – Capriccio Barockorchester The English published quite a few collections of Conerti grossi in the wake of Corelli, most of them are comptently written and beautiful music. Mudge's are among the latter. Quote

mikeweil Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 Very interesting - Tom Beghin plays nicely in a personal expressive approach to the music, and shows the different keyboard instruments used at the time. Got this for € 20 from JPC - at this priceit is a must buy for any serious lover of Haydn's keyboard music. It is amazing how different a piece can sound on a different instrument or in different acoustics. p.s. also available on BluRay: Quote
