Heinrich Ignaz von Biber (wotta name!) - The Mystery Sonatas

I second the Bartok Quartets, and add Schoenberg's 3rd and 4th Quartets and string quartet music by Berg and Webern as well. Also Ligeti, recent "Naxos" Qts by Peter Maxwell Davies, and perhaps most of all the quartets of Elliott Carter and his violin concerto. If they speak to you at all they'll knock your brain from here to kingdom come.

Bach's Art of Fugue in an Emerson Qt. recording and also his Musical Offering,

Bartok's solo violin sonata.

I second the Berg violin concerto.

Many of the Haydn Qts. are quite wonderful though as a rule not quite as profound as late Beethoven.

Qts by Alfred Schnittke, Martinu,

Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time (although violin is not the only featured instrument; in fact you should check out a lot of his music).

Schubert's cello quintet, certainly!

Quartets by Alexander Zemlinsky.

Can you guess that these are in NO PARTICULAR ORDER?
