The difference between your recording of the Beethoven String Quartets and their other recording of different Beethoven quartets is like night and day. I was shocked by the enormity of the difference! Where yours is crystal clear, exciting, and infinitely present (like I was sitting right next to the players as they played), the other sounded like a CD recording, precise but not special, not exciting, not as clear. It reminded me of going to the opera when they use those fuzzy scrims at the front of the stage, to create an ethereal effect; or like a photo that is intentionally out of focus.

GREAT
I don't know much about classical music or string quartets, but I have read a lot of reviews. The Quatuor Mosaiques get consistently great reviews. This is their first Beethoven SQ cd and I love it. It seems the bass (cello and Viola) is louder than usual in SQs and I really like this balance.

From the booklet :
Artists Karin Ingebäck and Anders Larsson are established Nordic romance singers and are frequently giving concerts, accompanied by Matti Hirvonen on occasions. This recording is a collection of their favourite writers from the 1800-1900 golden era of romantic music, with works by Wilhelm Peterson-Berger, Wilhelm Stenhammar, Jean Sibelius and Edvard Grieg, and some of the younger colleagues: Gunnar de Frumerie and Ture Rangstr–m, with specially chosen poems by Erik Axel Karlfeldt, Bo Bergman, Johan Ludvig Runeberg and Henrik Ibsen. Even though nature is the ongoing theme of this CD, it's mainly about life's greatest subject : love.
It also has a pedagogic undertone: During their classical music studies, Karin and Anders were forced to listen to old and worn out LP's because they couldn't find any suitable repertoire of recorded romantic songs. The situation isn't so different now, although the LP's have been completely replaced by a few and far-between CD's on romantic classics. They feel that this melodic CD will right the balance and be a perfect foil to the recent anthology of musical publications.
Karin and Anders hope this CD will capture the atmosphere of attending a live concert directly into your home. To further help in making this possible, Erik Sikkema's Ultra Linear Stereo Image (ULSI) is used in this recording.
