In Reply to: RE: I have the Fine Arts Everest LP sets... posted by Utley1 on January 12, 2016 at 10:50:44:
I pulled the Fine Arts sets and decided to listen to Op. 59 No. 3, as I am more comfortable with the Middle Quartets and my wife is at home. She does not much care for Op. 130 and cannot abide the Grosse Fugue.
I think your recollection of the Fine Arts performances being straightforward is accurate, if by that term you mean -- as I use it -- that they play the music and pretty much stick to (the formidable) business. I found it very agreeable, with no notable performance problems. The recording was on the bright side. A more rigorous critique is beyond my competence. I plan on listening to their Op. 130 (with both last movements) this weekend, when my wife has other plans, and...
Browsing my Beethoven Quartet LPs I found I have the Supraphon recording of the Smetana Quartet's Op. 130, reissued on the Quintessence label. There is a price tag on the jacket indicating that I bought it a local Goodwill for $1.00, and apparently put it in my Beethoven Quartet area, unplayed. I am looking forward to an interesting weekend.
