In Reply to: . . . although, come to think of it, are you conversant with some of the, say, post-2000 performances? [nt] posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 12, 2016 at 23:54:23:
I've certainly heard a number of good string quartets in person over the years, including the Brentano, the Pacifica, the Emerson, the Tokyo, the Cleveland, the New Hungarian, the Guarneri and the Amadeus, to name a few, (as well as the Juilliard itself) many of whom played Bartok.
The Bretanos are very nice people I've had the pleasure of meeting personally. If you saw the recent movie A Late Quartet, they are the ones actually doing the playing, and Brentano cellist Nina Lee is the cellist you see replacing Christopher Walken's character at the end of the movie.
