In Reply to: The Amadeus and Cleveland had post-2000 performances? posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 13, 2016 at 21:00:40:
No -- I said "over the years", didn't I? ;-) I actually attended one of the very last recitals of the Cleveland Quartet. By that time, William Preucil was the first violinist. The quartet disbanded when he accepted the position of concertmaster with the Cleveland Orchestra, where I think he still is.
I also attended one of the last NY recitals of the Amadeus. They were white-haired, but playing as well as ever, with their characteristic sound.
Of those I listed, only the Emerson, Brentano and Pacifica are recent.
Another more recent quartet I like, but haven't heard in person, is the London-based Eroica. They specialize in "authentic" performance of the 19th century romantic literature, but if you can hold your nose and listen, you might be pleasantly surprised.
Of course, the Arditti Quartet are the long time kings of contemporary music, but many other excellent younger groups have come along. Again, not your thing, I suppose.
The Leipzig Quartet is very good, I'd go hear them if they came to town.
