Reviews
Bartók’s six string quartets ... have surely never found more idiomatic interpreters than the Végh Quartet, recorded in 1954, with a profound understanding of the idiom, finding the earthy folk roots in so much of this music, bringing it to life with a touch of old-fashioned portamento and restrained vibrato; supremely eloquent.
