I own at least four recordings of this marvelous piece. My own favorite
is by the two great Czech ensembles: The Smetana Quartet and the Janacek
Quartet, on Supraphon. It is coupled with a gorgeous recording by the Suk
Trio of the Mendelssohn Piano Trio Op 49, his other great piece of chamber
music. I recommend this recording most highly!
