Negative Positive
Title: Exceptional
Review: Considering their stature and influence, there are not enough Julliard Quartet recordings in print. To hear their complete Bartok or Beethoven cycles, you have to order from Japan. Which can be a nervous experience. These Schubert recordings contain an amazingly good, taut but lyrical performance of the A minor Quartet and one of the greatest recordings of the G minor Quartet ever made. Only the Busch Quartet reaches these hights, in my experience. The only other stereo account that comes close is that by the Quartetto Italiano, and that is completely different in approach. These are splendid recordings and should be heard while they can.
