Being a string quartet fan, I'd definitely buy a Macfarren disc covering this area. I often find that I appreciate a composer's string quartets and other chamber works more than the orchestral variety. Although I previously indicated that I was not very pleased with the CPO Macfarren disc of symphonies, I haven't yet put it in my "might never listen again" closet. It is in a "prime listening" area, so I'll give it a another hearing or two. Sometimes, going back to a recording after a break of a few months (or years) is very rewarding.
