I have a number of recordings of the piece but my favorite is the one Harold Wright did with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players. It is on Philips and it is coupled with the Mozart Quintet.
For a truly sublime performance, try Gervase de Peyer with the Melos Ensemble (I have the original LP: Angel #36280). It's paired with Max Reger's Clarinet Q'tet in A - also very well performed.

Have you listened to Karl Leister with Vermeer Quartet released by Orfeo?

Thanks!
Otto, I too like the Vermeer Quator on Orfeo. However I prefer an old EMI (references)release: Quator Busch & Reginald Kell.

Cheers!
