Wake me up when you decide to go beyond the precursors
to the greats of the string quartet: Schubert and
Bartok. Most anything by the premier Emerson String Quartet
lights me up. Although I will make a case that Mozart's
String Quintets are interesting. And maybe the most sublime
chamber music is the Brahms' String Sextets. In my 6CD
changer right now:
1.Schittke/Piano quintet
2.Brahms/String Sextets
3.Shostakovich/Late string quartets
4.Webern/Complete chamber works
5.Mozart/String Quintets
6.Debussy/Ravel/String Quartets
