If you find it, please post the relevant information. The set Jay refers to seems to have the Quartetto Italiano performing only the quartets, with the quintets performed by the Grumiaux Trio [+2 players, obviously!], despite the (mis?)information in the link he provides. In any case, the Grumiaux version, while not my top favorite, is the top favorite of many and is excellent. Grumiaux does seem to have the market nearly cornered in refinement, taste and elegance when it comes to Mozart.
