The Music Speaks for Itself

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I don't know if there are words to describe how good the Busch Quartet really were. Simply put, they are to Beethoven's string quartets what Schnabel is to the piano sonatas. This is the best recording of Op. 131 that I have ever heard. Dutton's CEDAR remastered sound is very good, especially for 1930's recordings. A couple of fine choices for complete cycles, in case you don't want to wait to buy each seperate disc, are the Vegh Quartet, and more recently, with superb sound, the Takacs. Of course, there are numerous other perfectly good cycles out there (Alban Berg, Emerson, Quartetto Italiano & Talich to name a few that are easily obtained), those two just happen to be my favorites."
