#morninglistening to the @DiotimaQuartet's latest on @PENTATONEmusic: the late Beethoven StringQuartets on one what would appear is the quartet's opening impressive shot of their own cycle. (See the LvBSQ4tCycle survey!)

#morninglistening to a long coveted gem on @_Hungaroton: the TátraiQuartet's #BelaBartok StringQuartets. If you think re-issuing this together w/the same quartets by the Takács & Microkosmos SQ4ts is a good idea, leave a comment! ♡♡♡ All oop; I think it'd be fab!

#morninglistening to a classic recording can go right or wrong. This Guarneri version of the Janáček StringQuartets on Philips I *adored* when I first happened upon it. I discovered these works w/them. Reistening, however, I hear infelicities that you don't hear w/later quartets.

#morninglistening to what I maintain to be the finest cycle of the (difficult) Brahms StringQuartets - by the #MandelringQuartett on Audite. The fact that it comes w/Brahms-contemporary gems (Gernsheim, Herzogenberg, Dessoff) is just the cherry on the top.

#classicalmusic that's totally worth a listen. I really like #stringquartets and this is a lovely example, played exquisitely by the Diogenes Quartett, from the German composer Friedrich Gernsheim (1839-1916) youtube.com/watch?v=j0fEnIjo…

#morninglistening to a new release from @ECMRecords w/the ZehetmairQuartett back in new formation, playing the two op.51 JohannesBrahms StringQuartets... which is always a challenge! Will they rise above or add to the MandelringQuartett or ABQ?

#morninglistening to another simply superb album: the Ginastera (soft G) StringQuartets w/the @MiroQuartet on @PENTATONEmusic and KieraDuffy in the challenging 3rd SQ4t, a bit like Berg's Lyric Suite w/the vocal part. Lyrical, rhythmic, modern... they've kind of got it all...
