I just read the interesting bibliography of string quartets on this newsgroup. Some interesing examples were left out, namely, quartets by: Mahler and Bruckner (yes) Delius Frank Bridge Britten Nielsen (wrote 4, I think) Shostakovich (wrote ~12 excellent quartets, not just one) There is an excellent, new recording on London of the Sibelius and Delius quartets. The Fitzwilliam Quartet has recorded all or most of Shostakovich's quartets on l'Oiseau-Lyre and they are great recordings.
