Despite this quartet receiving so many recordings that more than fifty are in the current catalogue, as reviewer Andrew Clements pointed out in The Guardian (June 15, 2001): "One of the earliest remains one of the best; the 1936 performance by the Busch Quartet, which, for its heartfelt purity and naturalness, sets a benchmark against which all subsequent accounts need to be measured." Well now you can hear this benchmark in a brand new restoration, sounding better than ever before!
