The Bernstein transcriptions are VERY good. It is not a radical departure from a conventional quartet performance. Bernstein utilized a small string orchestra and did little more than use multiple instruments instead of one to play each part. The added weight and majesty works well in places, though in others, a conventional quartet reading works better. But, as a big fan of all of Beethoven's late quartets, this recording is something different and very welcome.
