The Blue Telefunken labels are dated 1972 and they are Stereo.Clearly not a 1954 mono cycle.
Follow Ups:
The Vegh/Telefunken set was issued originally on the French label 'Valois'...MB 967-9.
also has "Grand Prix du Disque" and "Deutscher Schall Platten Preis" stickers on the box.Wonder when it was recorded?
Like most quartets........they felt compelled to re-record everything in stereo.....usually not as well unfortunately. Although I have one friend that STILL believes that the Budapest Quartet's Stereo Beethovens are better that their mono cycle. I disagree, but I just don't bring up the subject.
