This album from the Budapest String Quartet proposes a comparison between the classic well known and rare repertoire, and features works by Debussy, Lutoslawski, Ravel, and Sibelius. The Budapest String Quartet was a string quartet in existence from 1917 to 1967. It originally consisted of three Hungarians and a Dutchman; at the end, the quartet consisted of four Russians. A number of recordings were made for HMV/Victor through 1938; from 1940 through 1967 it recorded for Columbia Records. Additionally, several of the Quartet's live performances were recorded, at the Library of Congress and other venues.
