Product Description

From Amazon.com

The Borodin Quartet plays the music of its namesake as to the manner born. Theirs is a beautiful, lush realization of this lyrical work, polished and full of nuance, and well-served by the 1980 analog recording. The coupling with Borodin's First Quartet is especially attractive. --Ted Libbey

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECTION, 20 April 2003
By DAVID BRYSON (Glossop Derbyshire England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
We sometimes get what we pay for, and this is one of those times. Except in the unlikely event that the music does not appeal to you, this is one of those records that can be honestly recommended without reservation. These quartets are heavenly stuff -- for sheer sustained beauty of sound they are in a very special league. The recording is magnificent, and as for the performances just think of any adulatory cliche and it will be true. Admittedly this disc has some spare capacity on it, and it looks as if the quartets are available separately in combination with a variety of other items on better-filled records. I prefer to have them just for and by themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heart-warming account of the forgotten masterpieces!, 11 Feb 2008
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is probably Borodin Qt's greatest recording, even greater than their Shostakovich cycle. In both no.1 & 2, they achieve near-miracle performance with amazing technical perfection and warm autumanal tone. The famous Nocturne in the 2nd quartet is undescribably beautiful and even Borodin Qt's own later versions fall far short of sheer sublimity of the music making. Rarely performed Quartet No.1 is even greater work in many ways, and here Borodin Qt captures the rustic beauty of the music like no other ensemble could. Buy this one while availalbe (EMI has notorious habit of deleting great recordings while reissuing inferior recordings as Great Recordings of the Century!), you shall never regret.
