They are all among my favorite recordings of those pieces. Apparently, the complete cycle was recorded in the 70's and 80's, released and forgotten since. For years I have been dreaming of them re-releasing the complete cycle. Well yesterday while looking on Amazon I learned that it has now been released:

For around $45 which is very good for such a great set. I am soooo tempted right now but probably will have to wait.

And may the rest of your dreams also come true Matt!!!

I realy like the Amadeus Quartet and their recordings of the Haydn Quartets they are very good indeed. Are you enjoying those performances Darren?

I am hugely impressed Sean. I have a smattering of AQ recordings and they sound exactly the way I like to to hear string quartet music played. The Mozart cycle is definitely one I want to get at some point (I have their quintet recordings, and they are masterful also)
