Rianne Stam asked about the Stamitz/Bayer set of Dvorak quartets:
>Is this a good overall quality set or should I look elsewhere?
I consider the Stamitz Quartet top of the line in this repertoire - fully
idiomatic, exciting, and technically superb. With a price of $50., you
can't miss out on this set.
>if not, are all these quartets really worth hearing or would I be
>equally happy with a selection of the best?
That depends how much you like Dvorak. Personally, I couldn't be as happy
with a selection as with all of them. Get them all! Then, you decide
which you like best. It's only $50. You get 10 great cds for $5 each.
