5.0 out of 5 stars Completely Excellent, 13 May 2008
By Mr. Mark A. Meldon (Somerset UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
As it says on the front of the neat little box you receive "an obvious first choice".

The 4 CDs contain recordings from 20 years ago in fairly early digital sound, not "mucked about" by excessive processing (I like old-fashioned stereo as I only have two ears),and you get a decent booklet too.

CD 1 actually has the sublime String Quintet, CD 2 Quartets 14 & 12, CD 3 Quartets 13 & 8, CD4 Quartet 15.

This is pretty much all you need by way of Schubert quartets (and quintet) and I can't see anything better coming along. Better hurry up as I think that the company that produced these recordings has gone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warm, singing, moving, 21 Mar 2009
By J. Severidt "jornfin" (Rovaniemi, Finland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Schubert, being my mother's favorite composer, has always been with me. I have listened to numerous recordings of his works, particularly his chamber music, and have seen some of it performed live.
The now disbanded Lindsays seem to be among the favorites of the makers of the Penguin Guide of Classical Recordings, so I thought I'd simply check them out, cheap as there releases are today.
What can I say? The Lindsays present the finest versions of Schubert's quartets that I have heard yet. Particularly the moving "Death and the Maiden" and the magnificent quintet receive the most intense readings I know. The secret is in their sound: Close to earth, warm, focusing on emotional content and impact - and without any cheap tricks or lack of precision. The song-like structure, and the very human touch, which characterizes Schubert's chamber music, is very much evident here.
This 4 CD box offers hours of most moving Schubert, and at a ridiculously low price.
The longer I listen to them, the more I prefer the Lindsays to any other quartet for Schubert (and also Beethoven!) readings. Eventually I sold my other recordings (Melos, Tokyo Strings), because I just wasn't playing them anymore.
