That 2nd mvt. Andante con moto is just so impossibly amazing!

I think it is
Borodin Quartet. In my opinion this one is better than
Emerson String Quartet, which seems to be more "cold"...the recording by BQ is more "musical". The second movement by Emerson is fragile in interesting way, that somebody can appraise and I think they have better tempo in the 4th movement (faster), but on the whole is better Borodin Quartet.
What do you think?
Well, I am not big fan of Russian music (especially romantic), but I am passionate admirer of Russian interprets...
