Default Op. 132 in A Minor

Moving on to No. 15, Op. 132 in A Minor. The Talich Quartet recordings are regarded as among the best. The founder, Jan Talich, passed earlier this year (his nephew, Jan Jr., currently occupies his seat).



Talich members; Petr Messiereur - violin I, Jan Kvapil - violin II, Evžen Rattay - cello, Jan Talich - viola



I think No. 15 is much more approachable in terms of immediate appreciation and the Talich is a fine recording. Here's a Spotify playlist which includes Talich versions of the late quartets and The Great or Grossee Fuge.
