Some time ago the Bessler-Reis Quartet tried to record all Villa-Lobos
String quartets for the Kuarup Discos label (a Brazilian label), but I don't
know if they succeeded. I have their recordings of the # 1, 2, 3 and the #
4, 5, 6, two excellent recordings and interpretations. For more about these
recordings, send a private message.
