ah, you beat me to it. I just realised there is a proper format for starting a discussion!

I couldn't believe it, either.

Speaking of the Zemlinsky Quartet, have you had a chance to hear Glazunov: String Quartets Nos. 3 & 4, Idyll - Zemlinsky Quartet??

no, haven't heard that one yet. I do like their Dvorak disc (the first one Dvorak: String Quartets Nos. 9 & 13 - Zemlinsky Quartet), but especially the Zemlinsky qts Zemlinsky: String Quartets Nos. 2 & 4, Two Movements - Zemlinsky Quartet, which in my view is simply outstanding, performance and sound-wise. I can't stop listening to it, which is of course partly because Zemlinsky's music is the perfect mix of modern and romantic.
The Zemlinskys are quite prolific, I'm quite curious about their recent disc with Spanish music: Spain through Strings - Zemlinsky Quartet
Has anybody heard it?

I was wondering about that one, too. It just went on my wish list...as well as Spain through Strings - Zemlinsky Quartet.

Wow, this is a wonderful recording. Their tone is so rich, and thanks to the warm recording, at times it seems as if a string orchestra is playing! Highly recommended.
