classical quartet watching/listening

I'm sure this has been brought up many times but my searches aren't finding much. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a YouTube video of a classical quartet recital that has also been released on cd and is available on Qobuz. I'm mostly interested in the pleasure of watching and listening, but I also thought it might be instructive to see if I can match the soundstage/imaging of the recording with the positions of the players on stage. I realize that it may be hard to find two recordings of a concert (video + music) at all, let alone two that are perfectly synced.

I've done something like this by simply plugging my laptop into my preamp. That's fun for watching concert footage or a live webcast of a concert, but I'm after something a bit more precise in the recording.

Thanks!

Thanks, all. Interesting stuff. Nice office, @elliottbnewcombjr! I'd never get any work done there... I'm sure that most audio recordings don't match existing video in terms of imaging. I was wondering if any audio and video recordings *are* synced; it would be pretty cool, to me at least, if the cello in my room's soundstage matched the placement of the cello on the real stage, etc. 

@mahgister, great suggestion on Simpson!

@mahler123--many thanks. I'm on it. I know a number of the Beethoven recordings but not that one.
