CD Reviews

Essential Recording

John N. Taylor | Palm Desert, CA, USA | 09/05/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Lindsays are not as well known in the US as in Europe. They are one of the best String Quartets ever! Comparable to Busch,Vegh,Hungarian and Amadeus. Their ensemble is impeccable and ALL their recordings are worth every cent!

This one in particular has been a favorite for many years and anyone thinking of the Smetana Quartets should not hesitate. This is one of their series of "Bohemian" Quartets and all of them are 5 stars.

They have now retired and their like is not playing anymore.

Get any of their CD's ( and the Beethoven is especially fine) and I assure you, you will not regret it!"
