I believe unfortunately GABOR TAKAS-NAGY, who played first violin and viola,died in the 90's. I heard them play at the 92nd St Y shortly before his death in an all Beethoven program that included OP 131 and a 'middle quartet. The performance of the 131, perhaps the most difficult of the quartets comprehend, was one of the great musical moments of my life. To get an idea of how they played you might want listen to their Bartok Quartets on HUNGARTON which sought of made them. It is driving and angled-sculptured precisely. Very different from the later London set which is more polished. I prefer the former by a wide margin.
I own the middle quartets plus the Harp QT . Richer sounding and warmer than the great MONO HUNGARIAN QUARTET recordings which are equally good.
It is the late QUARTETS that hold the most challenges- and overall the QUARTETTO ITALIANO , even if the lay a spiritual frame work around the music it is the best overall set I know.(Low priced Phillips)
I do like the HUGO WOLFE'S Quartet's Beethoven playing that used to play regularly in NYC when on tour.
This is the greatest musical journey ever with some astounding Quartet layers mixed with a lot of poseurs.
