The Guarneri quartet offers very effective approaches to both the E flat quartet, Op. 74, and the C sharp minor quartet, Op. 131. These late (1988) Philips recordings are in my view superior to Guarneri's earlier accounts of the same Beethoven quartets on RCA Beethoven: The String Quartets/ Grosse Fuge . Usually it is risky to opt for late remakes, if a string quartet is playing in one and the same membership for many decades: veteran players typically masque their diminished technical abilities by various mannerisms and pretentious conceptions. Here it is not the case. The 1988 Philips version is just as secure as the RCA version from the sixties but is more nuanced.
In the first movement of the 'Harp' quartet Op. 74, the 1988 version benefits from flexible rhythm and appropriate dynamic accents - cf. a triumphant crescendo around 5'02-5'25 or the glorious coda - the RCA version in these climax points is almost soporific. The scherzo is a real tour-de-force: the Guarneri are playing the trio in a very fast tempo too, and I like it. The final movement is often a disappointment since it difficult to hold the tension after such a storm in the scherzo. But here you will enjoy it - it is played brilliantly.
