So, is testosterone necessary to understand this music? I ask only for information . . . .

Well if you look at the cover, I should think so yes, at least they appeal to a certain masculinity. ;D

Not anymore! J. Haydn op. 33 Quatuour Mosaiques

Wonder how it compares to this. Love QM in Mozart, tepid about them in Beethoven, never heard them in Haydn. QF is pretty fine though... :)

Gurn, although I haven't heard QF doing op.20 yet I must tell you that you really want the Quatuor Mosaiques' recording of it. I have several other recordings of op. 20, and this one blows the others away. It will make op. 20 a real favorite of yours: warmth and depth that would be nearly impossible to match by anyone else. This is only my opinion, but I wouldn't be surprised if both Harry and Lethe at least partly agreed with it.

I have a transcription for piano but it's for four hands (Lilya Zilberstein and Cord Garben pound the Steinway to submission).

Sort of, but not my sort (I don't respond to short-cropped hair ladies ;D).

On that subject I have to say that the habit of showing off women's glamour on cd covers puts me off big time. I resent it because it implies either that without this 'incentive' the artist wouldn't have sales, or that the potential buyer (me) cannot make a purchase decision based on purely musical grounds. Either way it's quite offensive.
