If you look long and hard enough and are willing to pay full price, I suppose you could find better performances than what the Kodalys have to offer. My personal favourites are the Lindsays and the Quatuor Mosaiques (on period instruments). But, as you say, the price is right for the Kodalys, and generally speaking they are very fine. I particularly like their recordings of opp. 71 and 74, and of the Sieben letzte Worte quartet. As to a 'must have' list: that's easy, all of them! Seriously, though, some quartets are more important than others. My list would include opp. 20, 33, 64, 71, 74 and 76. Henrik Sorensen [log in to unmask]
