I'm convinced this is the best recording of this work. Ditto for the Debussy.
From a review by James Leonard, All Music Guide: ...these recordings were as good as it got, and just because we hear and perform music differently, doesn't necessarily mean that we hear and perform it better. (No kidding!) The Capet Quartet's performances of the quartets of Ravel and Debussy are, after all, informed by the fact that the performers and the composers were more or less Parisian contemporaries. And although performance styles have changed completely since 1928 and the lean, supple but almost vibrato-less sound they strove for has been supplanted by a richer, weightier sound (huh?), the Capet's flawless ensemble with its ideally weighed attacks, its perfectly balanced sonorities and its complete command of tonal color is still a model for quartet playing at its finest. Perhaps best of all, the Capet Quartet understood the combination of ardent emotions and powerful intellectual control that characterized French music of their generation, and they articulated their understanding in thoroughly compelling performance that will convince even those who came to musical maturity after 1928.

    @chaspoll1 I completely agree (his recording of the Ravel Trio is IMHO the most beautiful overall), and I've been thinking about this. I think one thing is that Ginette Neveu came along, who made all others seem like well-meaning amators. I've also seen Merckel was not liked as a concertmaster by his players (he must have been demanding, but hey!), not sure whether true or just a rumor.

    @2nd violinist: You say "As much as I like him, he wasn't really on the level of the better classical violinists of his time" I discovered South and Grappelli in my teens in the fifties. They find the swing in Bach which most others and betters are sadly lacking, in this important respect not being on South/Grapellis level.

    Fascinating, but as always with pinscreen one is left wondering if the extraordinarily laborious technique was justified by the result. In animation history it was a dead end compared with stop-motion and claymation. A feature would have taken decades to finish. The breakthrough of 'Snow White' doomed it. Incidentally, was this influenced by Claire Parker's enthusiasm for the cowboy star Tom Mix and 'his beautiful white horse'?
