Ahum!  I have actually mentioned the Amadeus who do a great job
especially in the late quartets IMO.  And I don't like the Emersons either
because of supreme superficiality on alleged *brillance*.  Not for me, this
one.  The Vegh was recommended and those I like fine although I feel that
both cycles that the Hungarians did are even better (and rather close
interpretationwise to the Vegh).
