Great discography! Thanks so much!Have you considered including collections of only the late quartets? As you're no doubt aware, there are several notable, even legendary sets: the Busch, the Hollywood, and the Yale sets immediately come to mind. The LaSalle also recorded a set, and the Mosaïques recently released a provocative new set (although I don't think they have plans to complete a cycle by also recording the middle quartets ... but who knows?). I can't imagine a Beethoven quartet aficionado going without at least some of those collections!

Thanks for the comment - and apologies for seeing it only so late. I have not thought of making an overview of just the late quartets... at least not so far.But come to think of it, the Busch Quartet should have a fairly decently sized Beethoven String Quartet discography, if one collected all their recordings. Perhaps a "notable/incomplete cycle" page might be merited, sort-of as with the Beethoven Piano Sonatas.Yes, aware of the Mosaiques; they were among my top 10 recordings of last year: Forbes: The 10 Best Classical Recordings Of 2017I think that they will at least try to record the middle quartets as well, actually. I briefly spoke to them about continuing the cycle on Naive on a different label (before Naive was taken over and resuscitated) and they appeared very willing.Cheers, jfl 2ff7e9595c
