Title: A real bargain for Schubert's late quartets
Review: As a bargain box, especially on the used market, this is a very good buy. The Juilliard Qt. had the technqiue to play the double stops in the first movement of Death and the Maiden powerfuly and in tune. Their approach is clean and direct throughout. These recordings date from the early Eighties and are in good if not outstanding sound (there could be a warmer sonority). The cheif drawback is that the aging first violinist, Robert Mann, sounds a bit thin and not always perfectly in tune. The interpretations themselves are appealing but a bit lacking in freshness and vitality.I realize as I write that I'm not making a very strong case for this set, but these are reliable, proficient recordings by a major quartet at bargain price. That's good enough for four stars.
