This is one of the great recoridngs of 20th century music. All credit to Brilliant Classics for rescuing them from the DG catalogue. The playing is fiery and accurate, and the recordings are as punchy and assertive as most of the music. From the post-Wagnerian melos of the first Schoenberg quartet op. 7 to the eery suggestions of material in Webern's op. 9 Bagatelles, the LaSalle Quartet play beautifully and idiomatically. But the star of the show is Margaret Price, the soloist in the final two movement's of the second Schoenberg quartet. Price was at the time a rising star who made a point of performing this corner of the repertoire, and her radiant voice makes this difficult music sound sublime. A fantastic set.

If you check any any critical source, you'll find that these recordings are highly prized by critics and other interested parties alike.That's because the LaSalle Quartet are clearly at home in this repertoire, and make a very convincing case if any were needed for this most stimulating area of early/ mid- Twentieth European music.So, if like me, you are dipping your toe in this area or are a more experienced collector, there is a musical treasure trove awaiting your inspection!
True to their brand name 'Brilliant' have done the customer proud- great presentation,worthwhile booklet and superior remastering job makes this collection a real bargain. Brilliant also have released a Zemlinsky set by the Laselle Quartet- which will shortly be on my shopping list!
ps: these recordings originate from 1970- but you'd be hard pressed to know it - I promise you.
Also: check out the Zemlinsky Quartets by the the Lasalle QuartetZemlinsky - String Quartets

This 4 CD box is a real gem. An excellent introduction to the chamber music of these composers, and a collection for people who love the work of these three and just cannot get enough. The Lasalle quartet delivers an impeccable version, dynamic, subtle. Margaret Price' interpretation of Schoenberg leaves nothing to be desired. To be enjoyed again and again whatever mood you're in.
