Free Music Review: Since this is OOP:Review updated/Sept 3,2006
Hit: 5 Stars

You'll have to "settle for" the New Budapest on Hyperion. I've compared the 2 one day and found both sets to be exceptional. , though the Tokyo/RCA group is my first pick. The Tokyo /DG group I didn't care for, too analytical, sharp, the music got lost in the technical mastery. i actually bought the Tokyo/DG set twice, just to double ck my comparison to the RCA group.
Not so with the RCA group.
This is a difficult set to come by, hopefully RCA will re-release it.

I see on Feburary 8th there is one copy avaliable at a very fair price of $99.
All you with the various recordings, Decca, Hungratron, Surpaphon, DG, EMI etc.
Think you have the best?
Wait til you hear this Tokyo/RCA group.
I have my copy otherwise I'd snap it up at a bargain price of $100.
This is the greatest recording of Bartok's SQ's , and I personally feel will never be equalled.
Ever.


EDIT: I had a chance to sit down this weekend and give both this Tokyo/RCA and the New Budapest/Hyperion sets a further review.
Seems I may have to slightly alter my above opinions. As finesly crafted as this set is performed, the New Budapest seems to have a deeper grasp of the emotional element that Bartok is trying to express. Not to say this Tokyo groups is not feeling the music. But in some sense a certain "hungarian earthiness" is revealed with the New Budapest players. No I am not favoring the "hometown team" as though i am biased.
Read my review on the New Budapest set. i'm still in listening session with both this weekend and will post any further comments, if need be.
EDIT: Sept 4, 2006, you can ck my further comments on the New Budapest/Hyperion release.
The 5 stars still remain for this recording.

Complete String Quartet Poster

Bartók's six quartets are the greatest set in that form since Beethoven; they have attracted most of the great quartets since the mid-century, and several complete recordings deserve consideration. The Tokyo String Quartet plays with high energy and dazzling technique in this, its second recording (notable for the presence of its newest, non-Japanese member, Peter Oundjian). It takes three discs, comparted with two for some other recordings, but it includes two of the century's most striking, original, and emotionally appealing quartets, composed by Janácek when he was involved in an intense, doomed, and reluctantly platonic love affair with a much younger woman. --Joe McLellan
