On Hungaroton. Much closer to Eszterhaza ...

The Tatrai recorded almost all the quartets, but none of Haydn's quartets
is nicknamed "Esterhazy". (Perhaps you mean "Erdodyi".) I think they
skipped op.42 and op. 103 and I have never seen op.9 with them, either.

The whole cycle is good, but traditional. Much better are both
traversals by the Festetics Quartet (first one on Hungaroton, second -
still in progress - on Arcana) and by the Mosaiques - also in progress -
(on Astree). They all show up at Berkshire occasionally.
