>Even better - Sandor Vegh Quartet.
RT
The Vegh are superb. The only group that makes the Bartok quartets
truly enjoyable & comprehensible to me. Haven't heard their
Beethoven; until then I second the Italiano.
The Borodin are very good, vibrato very much under control- they are
also my favorite for Shostokavich.
In this the only one I endorse is the Manhattan St.Q, truly (and fittingly)
sugarless.
If I memory serves, the Busch are
also one of the top Beethoven interpreters, but old recording quality
can be an issue. Boy are we OT this morning or what?
Better than the hand-creme discussions, wouldn't you say.
I could always bring in the TOMBEAU de LvB, for obligatory lute content:
