[Only if the Vienna Quartet is a subset of the Vienna Octet. I think
there may be a little confusion here. Don Satz gave the particulars
of the London CD with the Octet played by the Vienna Octet (421155).
I don't have this CD, but I do have a couple of London releases by the
New Vienna Octet of roughly the same vintage. I also have a London
release of chamber music by Britten that features the Vienna Octet.
Here're the facts:
Sources: Beethoven Septet/Trio Rec. 1977/8 New Vienna Octet 414576-2
Britten Sinfonietta/Quartets Rec. 1965 Vienna Octet 425715-2
Vienna Octet New Vienna Octet Vienna Quartet a.o.

I don't think these are the same groups. I suspect the CD you're
looking for (i.e., the one Don Satz has) is by the New Vienna Octet,
but Don can clinch it for us. -Dave]
