Mozart String Quartet K465 in C (Dissonance)
Mozart String Quartet K499 in D (Hoffmeister)
Mozart String Quartet K590 in F

Total track time: 71:59

Three of the Budapest String Quartet’s finest pre-war recordings, all of Mozart – K465 (the Dissonance), K499 (the Hoffmeister) and K590. Although audibly from an earlier era (I refer here to the playing style rather than the excellent vintage sound), the Quartet temper their expressive interpretative voice with a certain classical restraint. Excellent transfers and annotation. ~(Gramophone)

“I love the Schubert; not admire, love. This is the Budapest at their peak. The sense of corporate sonority is overwhelming. It’s a performance, to put it simply, of the utmost sympathy and of enormous concentration. It’s also the best, by far, of their recordings of the work and a testament, if any were needed, of their greatness.” (MusicWeb International)
