Excellent and exciting performances these two quartets

"I am familiar with many recordings of the Beethoven string quartets (vegh, hungarian, emerson, italiano, tokyo, guarneri, budapest, abq), but this may be my favorite performance of op. 127. Vigorous or searching as the music requires, with excellent recorded sound. A real treat. btw, I had earlier tried the op. 18 numbers 1 and 2 by the Kodaly on naxos and was not pleased - poor sound quality."
Emotionally charged, romantic Beethoven

"The Kodaly Quartet's playing of this music is insightful, incisive, emotional, and *gasp* duly romantic. This recording is at the top of my list for these pieces. Naxos continues to amaze me with talent of their musicians and the sound of their recordings. Get this disc."
Merci herr Beethoven ...

"Avant de payer plus cher, je vous invite à écouter cette
version des kodaly. Il y a bien sûr d'autres bonnes formations
de ces quatuors, mais en écoutant ce naxos, on a l'impression que rien ne manque vraiment. À essayer."
