The Italiano Quartet made two extraordinary recordings: Webern's opus 5, 9 and 28 and, from their complete recording of Beethoven's Quartets the 12th, opus 127. But I also love their version of the the opus 132. As for Schubert, I prefer the Alban Berg recordings and those of the Viena Philarmonic Quartet (with Boskovsky).

Hi everyone, I'm new to here.
Some of you were talking about Strauss chamber music. Apart from the Capriccio Sextet, he also wrote 2 Piano Trios, a Piano Quartet, a String Quartet, at least 5 pieces for Piano Quartet, a set of variations for String Trio. There are a few chamber music I like, such as Brahms Piano Trio no.1 the original version, Beethoven Great Fugue, Nielsen String Quartet no.2, Schubert the BIG G major quartet, Debussy Soanta for Flute, Viola and Harp, and Strauss Piano Quartet.

As for my favorite string quartets... Haydn (Op 20 and beyond), Mozart's mature ones, all of Beethoven's, the late Mendelssohn's, the late Dvorak's, all of Bartok's, all of Shostakovich's, Schnittke's #2,3 and Ligeti #2.

I know we all have our favourites, but at the moment I have taken great pleasure in Smetana's two quartets, the recording I have with the Lindsays is a real delight, beautifully charming music. Anyone appreciate these works as much as I do? They are a long way from Shostakovich's world, whom I am exploring along with revisting Beethoven soon.
As for Haydn, well no comment there. I have only heard two, but the happiness it brings many a poster is making me think "What am I missing out on". Wonderful music, I do not doubt

Yeah those Smetana Quartets are good! I had this Brilliant box set with them, Martinu's and Janacek's. All great SQs, Janacek being my fav. Janacek SQs I still have, but the dynamite Skampa Q recording.

Seems almost impossible to choose a favorite quartet, because everytime I think of one it's like "but what about... "
 Mozart's last 10, particularly K 465 (Dissonance) Haydn's last ... 50, particularly Op 76 #2 (Quintens) Beethoven's last 16, particularly Op 95 (Serioso) Mendelssohn's 6, particularly Op 44 (all three!) Schumann's 3 Brahms' first one in c minor Op 51#1 Dvorak's last 10 Tchaikovsky's 3 Smetana & Janacek & Strauss & Debussy & Ravel & ......
