Description: Using a new, young string quartet for each of these works is an appealing idea, preventing any group from getting ground down by doing a complete cycle, while there is no other current complete recording of the youthful fugues from 1821; the song Frage is included since it inspired the Quartet No. 2. 4 CDs.
