This is a legendary complete recording of Beethoven's string quartets by the renowned Czech "Smetana Quartet," recorded for DENON (Nippon Columbia) during the dawn of digital recording. This immortal performance, often called the "Bible" of string quartets, is still highly regarded today. This is a valuable domestic early pressing box set (catalog number: 260C37-7711〜19) released in 1986. 【Condition】 • Discs: All 9 discs are in beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches. • Case & Booklet: Some signs of wear and tear due to age, but no major damage. • Outer Box (Slipcase): Still in its original plastic wrap. 【Contents】 • Beethoven: Complete String Quartets (Nos. 1-16, Grosse Fuge) • Smetana Quartet • Recorded 1976-1985 (PCM Digital Recording) 【Shipping】 The item will be carefully packaged with bubble wrap and shipped promptly via Rakuraku Mercari Bin (or Yu-Yu Mercari Bin). I hope to pass this on to classical music fans who will cherish it. Thank you.
