I have a question.  How does the Busch quartet compare with the Budapest quartet on late Beethoven?  I am quite familiar with the Budapest but have never heard the Busch.

I believe the Busch Quartet are considered nigh-legendary!

I don't have their recently re-released Beethoven late quartets, but the Schubert quartets I do have from them are incredible; historic, in every sense of the word. I don't think you should hesitate, if you don't mind the equally "historic" sound. ;)

To the extent that LvB was influenced by Mozart's D Minor piano concerto, it is helpful to consider performances of this d minor masterpiece.  Ergo ......

WOW!

But how can that even begin to compare with Arthur Schoonderwoerd?
"I don't know what sforzando means, though it clearly means something."
