I have limited experience with Telarc. I looked through my entire collection and only found one disc. Originally, while following this thread, I was under the impression that Teldec was being discussed and I have had great experience with their label. My only disc on the Telarc label contains Brahms' string quartets Op. 51 (along with Haydn's Op.76, my favorite quartets of all) in a performance by the Cleveland Quartet. I happen to love this performance but I have not heard many different recordings of the work. Being the fanatical Brahms-lover that I am I would be interested if any list members have a favorite recording of the Brahms string quartets. Wes Crone
