Beethoven - Complete strijkquartetten - Talich Quartet

7 CD's. Opgenomen in Parijs, 1977-1981

(Late String Quartets:) "A powerfully intimate set which conveys the impression of four outstanding chamber musicians playing for each other - music-making eavesdropped upon, rather than projected to an imagined audience."

(Opp 95 & 132:) "Though other performances may be technically more perfect, these are interpretations that come closer to the spirit of this great music than any other on CD. The Talich Quartet's reading brings a total dedication to this music: their performances are innocent of artifice and completely selfless. There's no attempt to impress with their own virtuosity or to draw attention to themselves. The recordings are eminently faithful and natural, not overbright but the effect is thoroughly pleasing."
