The Vlach Quartet in Nos 5 and 7 which I've just bought.  I have some of
their Dvorak quartets on old Supraphons which I love.  Their work in what
I've heard of the Naxos series is fine by me.  I'd love Supraphon to
reissue their Ravel quartet, too.

I vaguely recall seeing a Fanfare review of a Denon (?) CD of the 3rd
which, with all repeats, ran more than 70'.
