RE: ". . . the Concord actually plays out of tune. So what!"

ThanKs for your thorough reply. The Smetana set that I admire is the one on the Supradphon most of all the Opus 130. I own the Denon set and agree with your assessment.Hollywood is a great quartet and probably because of the poor pressings I replaced them with the Quartet Italiano. I had great hopes for the Vegh Quartet which failed to my taste in the late quartets. Likewise the Bartok: all of which I still have on LP.
I have but a few of the Tatrai quartet playing Beethoven, on Telfunken pressings. I have the middle quartets and Opus 127. They are the finest performances I have ever heard. I have also listened to them on live tapes from WKCR in NYC from Budepest festival in the 1970's. A very great quartet.
Have you any thoughts on the Fine Arts performances, available in another age on EVEREST. I remember them as very straight forward. At the time I was trading off the Hungarian and the Amadeus...so they are not fresh in my recollection.Do try the Concord if you can and giv e us a shout. Thanks Chris!
