Customer Reviews of Beethoven: The Middle String Quartets
Missing Bars Bars 127 to 128 are missing from the finale of the first Razumovsky quartet. This set is in serious need of remastering and re-editing. Not recommended!
Outstanding '60s Performances of the Giants of Quartets
Please see my review of the Guarneri Quartet performance of the Early Beethoven String Quartets, which applies to the whole set. One comment on the recordings themselves. I found the CD transfers produced more spatial clarity and as often is the case with transfers from the "Golden Age of Stereo", some of the expansiveness of the sound is lost. These were recorded in the late 60s, when the emphasis was on big, stereo sound with lots of separation and the CD process can be pretty brutal to some of these recordings. However, I certainly did not find them cramped as one reviewer did, and my only other observation, since I have the LPs, is a loss of some warmth, This, to my ear, has been more than compensated by improved spatial placing of the instruments. Altogether taken, they are splendid document and well worth a listen.
Dry acoustic diminishes these recordings
Unfortuntately, this recording is an example of 1960s sound engineering at its worst. The instruments are miked so closely and the sound is so bone-dry that the performances can scarcely be enjoyed. It's as if the quartet is sitting in a small room with those noise-reduction panels lining the walls, ceiling and floor.
I recommend listeners look elsewhere -- there are plenty of recordings to choose from for these great pieces.
