. . . which has ever been made - LOL! So I will add to the list:Of these, I'd probably reach for the Prazak Praga recording myself right now, although I feel that the others are also excellent (as well as some of the other recordings which have been recommended so far on this thread).
- Hollywood Quartet (mono only)
- Smetana Quartet (the earlier analogue Supraphon recording, not the Denon digital remake - this rule applies only to the Late Quartets - the digital recordings of the Early and Middle Quartets are fine*)
- Prazak (either their early digital one on Nuova Era, or the later Praga one - of the latter, No. 14 was originally released as a single CD, but when the singles of all the quartets were collected and released as a set, it came out as an SACD box - I mention this because you specifically said you were not interested in SACD, so look for the single on CD
- Bartok Quartet
*I now see however that Supraphon has reissued the Denon digital recording too. Confusing!
