belabartokclub : Message: Question Regarding String Quartet Recordings

Hello, Bartok Lovers,

I am trying to find the 1972 stereo recording of the string quartets
by the Vegh Quartet. There is a CD that seems readily available that
I think is this recording (not the 1954 mono). Here it is at Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Bartok-Complete-String-Quartets/dp/B000059OBK/ref=tag_dpp_\
lp_edpp_ttl_in

or

Anyone out there know which recording that is? I'd appreciate any
information on how to locate the 1972 stereo recording, if the CD
referenced above is not it.

Thanks,
-Eric

Would it be instead of a language "accent" would you more mean a cultural flavor? Hungarians were raised in Hungarian culture, steeped I would imagine in the...

... You are right, Doug. However, a great part of that aspect of the Hungarian folk music (and of Bartók's music) includes some peculiarities of the Hungarian...
