    5.0 out of 5 stars About as good has it gets!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017
    Sony as provided us a spectacular service by re-releasing these seminal performances from 1940-42 in near miraculous sound from the original 78 rpm masters. Not a swish or pop is evident and the playing, the playing is heavenly! This release displays for all to hear, the reason why this ensemble had the reputation it did. Highly recommended! Did I mention that the sound is glorious? I can't get over the surprise I experienced on first listening---far better than what EMI was providing the Busch Quartet at the same time period.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Incomparable playing
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2008
    I agree entirely with the first reviewer. The Emersons never manage to get so near the the heart of this music; the Italians are often too slow and reverential. To me, the only rivals are the Pro Arte and the Calvet - both pre-war Quartets, neither of which came anywhere near to recording the full Beethoven repertoire.

    But my main purpose is to point out that Budapest collectors do have an alternative for Quartet No. 13, Op.130. The 1934 HMV recording with Ipolyi on viola was reissued on Biddulph two years ago. coupled with Op.59 No.2 from 1935 (ASIN:B000EBFMDU). It was doubtless the existence of this recording which prevented its commercial duplication by Sony in the early 1940's. Whether or not it is preferable to the Library of Congess version on Bridge is a moot point. Neither recording is sonically up to the standard of these four by Sony.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Milestone files!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2011
    These quartets show us the Budapest in their most absolute artistic peak. The flaming pasion, impressive intonation and wondrous conceptual density allow to express the minimum facets of these late works.

    You shouldn't even blink and go for these musical jewels. Pearls for eternity!
