It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

People who favor the Borodin just haven't heard the Beethoven -- yet...

...they sound mighty sure of themselves. And they might laud the Borodin for "breathing the air" of Shostakovich, but

From 1938 the Beethoven collaborated closely with the composer Dmitri Shostakovich and premiered the majority of his string quartets. His third and fifth quartets were dedicated to the Beethoven Quartet, while quartets numbers eleven to fourteen were individually dedicated to each of the members of the quartet.

And yes, they're great in the L.v.Beethoven quartets as well. Pity so little of this material was issued in the West, I consider myself fortunate to have gotten hold of it.
