This seems to be the string quartet in G recorded on a 1995 Supraphon CD (E7215?) performed by the Stamic Quartet ( (note: (which can be heard in audio samples on other sites; the movement plan is the same and the audio samples seem to confirm this conjecture. I have heard it broadcast in full, like other works on the same CD, on Cesky Rozhlas D-dur radio streamed over the web but awhile ago.) (Schissel) (2025: No longer available at Supraphon's website but downloadable from Presto, Qobuz and elsewhere. There is also a recording of this work, performed by the Lotus Quartet, on cpo - see the Earsense.org link.)
