Also highly recommended (or was this already mentioned?): op.20, 77,
103 I find their Mozart *Haydn* and *Prussian* quartets somehow less
satisfactory, especially K.421 misses the tragic point of the work IMO.
For Haydn's op.71 & 74 (and probably others I haven't heard yet) it's
worthwhile to listen to another HIP-ensemble at least as good as the
Mosaiques: the *Festetic Quartet*.
