The Lindsay's did in fact play out of tune....their defenders claim that these audible intonation problems are actually an expressive device.....I think they just couldn't play in tune. It wasn't just Gramophone who defended them - Bernard Jacobsen was a huge fan as well. It must be like well-hung pheasant....you have to be English to appreciate it.
Fanfare reviewer Jerry Dubins is such a strong proponent of using the Gross Fugue as the final movement that he nixed a set of Beethoven quartets that he otherwise liked when they released the Gross Fugue in the set with the Middle Quartets instead of the Late Quartets.....kind of an overreaction in my mind.
