thank you, Ciaran, I have seen the first of those around, however never the 2nd... both will be born in mind, most certainly! There really is nothing more uplifting than some Biber!

I see you're starting off gently, Fergus...

you know you've reached op.133 & 135 when your brain starts to simmer, before reaching the boil.. ;-))

incidentally, I'll shortly be joining you in the same traversal... I own the above set, and have recently purchased the Budapest's re-release on Sony..

Good, we can compare notes as I am just starting off on something of an oddyssey myself with the Beethoven String Quartets!

Well done Jared, you won't be disappointed. Fergus, have you got a copy of the set?
