In Reply to: RE: But tin - the Emersons can't possibly compare to the great quartets of the past, can they??? [nt] ;-) posted by Chris from Lafayette on October 12, 2014 at 23:00:36
Where you going to go these days to hear the Busch, Hungarian, Budapest, Italian, or Vegh quartets perform live in a small acoustically good hall? I heard the Emersons do Beethoven op. 131 and Schubert no. 14 at Ravinia last summer and it was quartet playing as good as I have ever heard. It was all there, not just the 10% you get on a recording. I'll take over an old Busch recording any day.
Follow Ups:
I heard the Italiano perform the op. 131 live in 1962 (I think). Great stuff!
The woman behind me as we left said that it was the most boring piece of music she'd ever heard.

Sacrebleu! I thought the lo-fi recording was part of their appeal! ;-)
