Ptss I have the specific recording. What prompted me to purchase it was a Academy of St. Martin in the Fields analog recording "The Academy-By Request" I have cherished for years. It is a compliation of works by Handel; JS Bach; Handel and several other Romantic era composers including Borodin. It was the Nocturne from the 2nd Quartet that captivated me on first listen and still does. The Academy recording is a larger string/horn ensemble, not a quartet.
I am somewhat a fan of Borodin probably stemming from hearing early recordings of Kismet as a kid I suppose as my mother loved it. The music is quite beautiful, exotic and mysterious in a way that I hear with some of Rimsky-Korsakov's works. I have numerous recordings of the Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor, probably his most popular and famous work.
