From English Decca comes the first, K. 387, of Mozart's set of six string quartets dedicated to Haydn-one of those that are less frequently played than K.421 and K 458, but not because they are less beautiful and affecting examples of Mozart's matured quartet writing-recorded by the Griller Quartet . These qualities the Grillers do impart to the minuet movement, which they play beautifully; but even here there are traces of a preciousness which is very pronounced in the slow movement. The performance is superbly reproduced, and on the whole the set is heifer than the old Columbia with the Roth Quartet performance.
