One of the reference recordings ....

I have Mompou recordings of his own music on this label (Spanish i believe) and they are marvelous also.

Clara Haskil - Philips Recordings 1951-1960

Disc 2
- Robert Schumann: Kinderszenen; Waldszenen
- Beethoven: Sonata No. 17 "Tempest"; Sonata No. 18

Haskil's playing reminds me of Géza Anda's (with whom she sometimes performed).  Their styles are extremely transparent -- like looking through pure water.

These are "live" recordings from 1991, right .... ? If so never heard them ....

These recordings are from 1991 but studio ... recorded in Japan. I am not an expert in Bartok's stringquartets ... these recordings are growing on me little by little, especially the first ... 

Quote: Both the Penguin Guide and Gramophone Magazine have praised this recording (now reincarnated at super-bargain price on the Ultima label) as being 'echt'-Bartok, in the tradition of the Vegh quartet, but with richer, digital recording, a greater sense of vibrancy and truer intonation.
