One of the best collections of the String Quartets

We now reach the third volume of the Beethoven String Quartets performed by the Kodály Quartet.

The present disc contains two of the most frequently performed of the complete cycle, and represent the turning point in Beethoven's life when he began to develop his own style within this field of composition, his earlier works having owed considerably to the influence of Haydn.

Of the first volume Classic CD said "both the tone and phrasing are exactly right... I await further issues eagerly".

"the Kodály Quartet once again proves itself to be amongst the warmest, most sweet-toned and relaxed champions of this inexhaustible repertoire"
- Classic CD 5 * - June 1996

"The Kodaly Quartet show here their usual fine technical control, together with near-perfect balance and blend...a clean, natural-sounding recording."
- Gramophone - September 1996
