Amadeus Quartet

"I'm struck afresh by the power, precision and sheer puissance of their music-making … The Brahms quartet recordings remain 'outstanding'; affectionate but free of affection, considered yet vitally spontaneous"
[Dvořák]: "strongly conceived, full of ardour … scherzo & finale show their brilliance of ensemble" (Penguin Guide 3*)
Recorded 1960, except Haydn 1953
