There is still another test and this of Opus 131. I have never quite figured this one out. The Concord 'live ' perpormance still resonates with me 25 years later. The Takacs in their later incarnation, sort of miss it. The slick playing of the "Julliard' style found in many of the groups that they trained, never interested me. Again the Lasalle and the Smetana are admirable. But the quartet remains a mystery. I heard the Hugo Wolf quartet in NYC and they played with a no hold barred style that was very moving and powerful. Thanks!
Follow Ups:
It just occurred to me that the movie A Late Quartet involves the C# minor quartet, Op. 131, and not the A minor Op. 132. But you're right that they are both acid tests of even the most famous groups. But maybe someday I'll hear a spectacular performance from a group of unknown youngsters.
