BUDAPEST QUARTET Early Recordings

This week at Pristine we unearth more treasures from the earliest recordings of the fabulous Budapest Quartet, including the world première of Beethoven's Grosse Fugue, included as a part of the original version of his 13th String Quartet.

Also included are Beethoven's first Rasumovsky Quartet, Schubert's Quartettsatz, and rare recordings of music by Dittersdorf, Smetana and Tchaikovsky.

Plus: this week we mark the 70th anniversary of the death of American pioneering composer Charles Ives in 1954, with a special discount on all our recordings of his music.
