Beethoven, Complete String Quartets - Quartetto Italiano CD 3-10

I have been listening to this set of the Beethoven quartets since the mid-70's. I never tire of these performances. I have over the years purchased other performances of the Beethoven quartets by the Emerson, Berg, Borodin, and Takacs but the QI's version is the one to which I return. There are no other performances that match the QI's for balance and crispness, detail and passion, And I have always admired Franco Rossi, the cellist, for his wonderful singing tone – especially in the Op. 59 F maj. I can only agree with the other reviewers praise of the late quartets especially the Op. 132.
