"The Emerson String Quartet does not disappoint with its contributions to the classical period of string quartets. These well-known works sound entirely fresh, while remaining stylistically delightful. This disc is wonderful from start to finish."

A classic of the CD era

Micaloneus | the Cosmos | 02/04/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This disc was one of the first classical discs I ever bought. Loved it then and I love it now. This version includes a extra work which is also rewarding. The Emerson String Quartet combine a strength of performance at the same time giving us subtle shades of color producing one of the supreme recordings of chamber music ever. Enthusiastic and sensitive interpretations rolled into one.
