His letters specify explicitly the programme embedded in the music of his first Quartet, 'From my Life'. Smetana very much wore his heart on his sleeve, especially in his two string quartets, in which he confided his emotions at key stages of his life. Nonetheless, I found the tonal allure of the Kocian Quartet made compelling listening, yielding more details of the scores than hitherto. This is probably the best recorded sound that these two well-matched string quartets have had to date, although some purists used to live performances of quartets might think that the lower range of the cello is somewhat unrealistically inflated. Violins are to the left and half-left, cello centre and the viola on the right, and the string sound is pure and detailed - one can almost see the rosin flying off the bows.

The sound is so smooth and natural, and it's hard to. To me, the sound of this SACD shows what is possible in terms of sonic quality.

It is the same on both, so it will be the tape MoFi were using, rather than a glitch they. I had another listen to the SACD and compared it to the 2001 (bonus tracks) CD.
