L. van Beethoven: String Quartet No. 14 in C sharp minor, Op. 131

I love #14 but #15 is the one that makes me see stars. Actually, they all do in their own ways.

Original pressings, very nice Ron; I have them too but as reissues. What did you think of your selections?

How do you know these are original. Purchased from G? Is the Ricci Bizet Sarasate the first press?

My friend who played them for me knows what they are.

I like the first Ricci more than I thought I would.

I prefer the kind of mathematical coherence and rising energy repetition of Beethoven and Mozart.

Firebird is that way. Which Ricci, the lalo or the Bizet Sarasate

I kind of liked the Lalo.

I kind of liked the Lalo.

You should also listen to the Henryk Szeryng version. And a Kogan live on Melodiya
