I finally managed to buy this record after ignoring it for years. What a disappointment. The Shostakovich is not the most thrilling I’ve heard and the Schubert was ridiculously fast. During the last movement I thought the turntable was on 45. The sound is OK – typical RCA chamber music. I don’t get why this record is so sought after and expensive.

That sucks. I haven’t heard it yet, but I thought this was supposed to be a good one. Well, thanks for the warning.
