(The other three are by the Endres Quartet on Vox LPs, the Melos Quartet Stuttgart on DG, and a fairly recent one by the Leipzig Quartet on MD+G.) Schubert's late quartets have, of course, been played and recorded by almost everyone.

 Vlach Quartet Prague
In 1988, the Hindemith Foundation invited the quartet to the international master courses held by the famous Melos Quartet in Switzerland.
A quote from the evaluation by the Melos Quartet: "Jana Vlachova, primaria of the quartet, emanates a special charisma which not only attracts the listeners but also contributes to the absolute homogeneity of the ensemble.
It is rooted especially in the artistic legacy of the distinguished violinist, conductor and teacher Josef Vlach, primarius of the Vlach Quartet.

 Classics Today.com - Your Online Guide to Classical Music
The Melos Quartet is to be commended, for these players do much to demystify Sibelius's score, revealing a coherence all too shrouded in the Gabrielli Quartet's performance on Chandos, with its slower tempos, legato playing style, and over-reverberant recording.
The Melos players take a light approach but add plenty of bite to their phrasing when called for.
The Sibelius quartet, while it veers far from the well worn path of late-romantic chamber music, lies comfortably within its composer's milieu, with its angular harmonies, stark melodies, and overall enigmatic mood.

 Rastrelli Cello Quartet
However, since founding the quartet in Stuttgart in 2002 they have started to forget the name of their instrumentóthey have intentionally omitted from their repertoire any pieces composed especially for cello quartet, concentrating instead on the widest range of classical, pop, and jazz, hoping their audiences hear the saxophone, the ragtime-battered piano, the bandoneon!
The quartet's artists hold an impressive collection of international competition prizes among them, and two are members of the famous Wuertemberg Chamber Orchestra.
However, the true magic of their performance was their ability to draw the audience into the music, share their passion for music, their passion for the cello, and to share their delight in performing truly great arrangements of music from the Baroque to Jazz.

 MaximumEdge.com Marketplace - Popular Music - Mozart: String quartets No17; String quartets No19
This offering from the Melos Quartet is the recording of choice for the two 'name' quartets in Mozart's set of six dedicated to Joseph Haydn; at this price, it's frankly a steal.
The interpretation of the Melos Quartet is insightful.
These two quartets, among the other Mozart quartets, his string quintets, and particularly the late Beethoven quartets, lie within the nucleus of the string chamber repertoire, but I had not figured them out.

 Dvorak, Melos Quartet
The venerable Melos Quartet, of Stuttgart, Germany, plays this music in the soft-edged, deliberate manner typical of the Central European style, as opposed to the more etched and propulsive style that such American ensembles as the Guarneri Quartet bring to this repertoire.
These are the last two string quartets of Dvorak, written after his sojourn in America, and they are rife with New World influences, notably in the folksy, songlike melodies.
The chamber music of Brahms may be more popular, but in terms of concise structure, dramatic variety and simple beauty of melody, his work is strongly rivaled by that of his Czech contemporary and friend Dvorak.

 Amazon.co.uk: Music: An Equal Music / Verwandte Stimmen - Music From the Novel
Composed mainly of string music, with the emphasis on quartets, this CD is a great addition to anyone's music collection in its own right, regardless of their knowledge of the novel.
While listening to the music is not essential for enjoyment of the book, the recordings (picked by the author) are exquisite, and the music itself is divine whether you have read the book or not.
Vikram Seth's novel An Equal Music is as evocative a portrait of the world of chamber music as you could wish for, but Seth is the first to say that words "can only attempt to describe what cannot truly be described".

 Amazon.com: Music: Schubert: The String Quartets [BOX SET]
Well, the Melos Quartet recorded these in the mid 70's.
These were quartets Schubert composed as a student and they capture well the energy of youth and have a beautifully simple quality that always makes Schubert stand out.
Buy the set from the Auryn quartet if you care more about the sound quality of the recording (it is noticeably better) or if you happen to like a younger, slightly more aggressive approach.

 Music : Dvorak: String Quartet No12; Quintet in Ef
The Melos Quartet has continued to make recordings--including many for Deutsche Grammophon--over a period of several decades, in the face of critical reactions ranging mostly from indifference to hostility.
Among superior versions of the popular American quartet are those of the Emerson Quartet (Deutsche Grammophon), Panocha Quartet (Supraphon), Smetana Quartet (Testament), and the gorgeous antique by the Bohemian Quartet (Biddulph) with Dvorandaacute;k's son-in-law as second violinist.
But the rhythms are inflexible, and in their hands Dvorandaacute;k fails to emerge as the lovely, heart-gripping composer we know from so many other performances.
